- 2019-05-02 · Monthly Favourites #8 - Ali Abdaal — Ali says Derren Brown's Happy is a book about philosophy, not magic, and a fantastic introduction to the Stoic school of philosophy. — 00:00:48
- 2019-05-02 · Monthly Favourites #8 - Ali Abdaal — Derren Brown (quoted): The cover text of Happy says Derren Brown traces ideas of happiness from the Stoics and Epicureans to today's self-help industry, and shows that its routes such as positive thinking, self-belief and setting goals can be disastrous and cause anxiety. — 00:01:46
- 2019-05-02 · Monthly Favourites #8 - Ali Abdaal — Ali: Happy is by far Ali's most highlighted book on his Kindle, with Atomic Habits second, he thinks; he first read it in 2016 when it came out and gains new insights about happiness every time he rereads it. (hedged) — 00:02:15
