Tricks Of The Mind

Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Mixed lot

Overview:
Three books, one compelling journey into the workings of mind, happiness and illusion. This Derren Brown collection brings together Happy, A Little Happier: Notes for reassurance, and Tricks Of The Mind. In Happy, Brown questions common routes to happiness—positive thinking, self-belief and goal-setting—and shows how they can backfire, triggering anxiety. He explains how happiness can be reclaimed by reframing the stories we tell ourselves and by accepting that 'everything's fine' even when it might not feel that way. A Little Happier adds 17 inspiring and reassuring lessons to help you define and find your own happiness, encouraging focus on what you can control and a gentler approach to goals and relationships. Tricks Of The Mind takes you into the psychology of magic: how cues, memory and suggestion shape perception, how to read people more accurately, and what hypnosis can teach us about influence. Together, these books offer practical strategies for resilience, curiosity and smarter thinking in a noisy world.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This trio is not just three books in one package; it's a cohesive journey through how we think, feel and perceive the world. The set pairs the psychology of emotion (Happy and A Little Happier) with the psychology of influence (Tricks Of The Mind), offering insights that complement each other. Readers enjoy a seamless reading experience that can spark reflection, reduce anxiety and sharpen observation. The value is tangible: a single purchase that provides a curated, complementary reading arc, excellent for gifting or bookshelf display, and ideal for fans of thought-provoking non-fiction, memoir-like self-help, and mind-bending curiosities. The collection also serves as a reliable entry point for new readers curious about Derren Brown, while rewarding long-time fans with fresh angles on happiness and perception.

Books Included in This Collection:
Happy
Happy surveys the idea of happiness with a critical eye, challenging conventional self-help routes and offering a more grounded approach to living well. Brown draws on ancient wisdom—Stoic and Epicurean thought—and modern life to argue that happiness isn't a fixed destination but a practice of reframing what we tell ourselves about success, worth and serenity. With accessible prose and practical insight, Happy invites readers to notice the small, fleeting moments that make life feel fuller, even when circumstances aren’t ideal. Perfect for curious minds who want to understand how mindset shapes experience, this book offers steady guidance for managing anxiety and cultivating a steadier sense of well-being.

A Little Happier: Notes for reassurance
A Little Happier distills Brown's thinking into 17 concise, reassuring lessons about happiness and resilience. It argues that much of our anxiety stems from stories we tell about control, goals and relationships, and that focusing on what we can influence—our thoughts and actions—can restore steadiness. The book invites readers to rethink long-term ambitions, to question tidy narratives, and to approach everyday choices with gentleness. Short yet potent, it guides readers toward a calmer, more practical path to a sustainable sense of well-being.

Tricks Of The Mind
Tricks Of The Mind explores the structure and psychology of magic, teaching readers how to read clues in behavior, spot liars, understand hypnosis, and harness the power of suggestion. Brown also critically examines the paranormal industry and why belief persists. Alternately witty and provocative, this book offers a behind-the-scenes look at performance and perception, appealing to fans of psychology, puzzle lovers and curious readers alike.
