About this listen

The cognitive story behind a simple act of aggression. How our brain is essentially stuck in the Stone Age, struggling to deal with the complexity and pressures of modern life. And how an ongoing battle between our twin cognitive systems - our fast and slow thinking brains - lies behind much that goes wrong in our lives.

He is an excellent storyteller, and having witnessed many of his social experiments an acknowledged master of his trade. What’s not to like. As a hypnotherapist it gives me a bit more information. I will keep in my library and listen many times. Looking forwards to the text !

Language, time, presentation are engaging. Very necessary in audio

Wonderfully engaging, easy to listen to, and for me, left me feeling like I could listen to a hundred more episodes. Highly recommended

My silly brain likes this a lot

What a treasure he is because he has it all. The voice, the intonation, storytelling, intellect and linguistics. How lucky we are to have him teach us this helpful and life affirming/ changing research and information.

Terrific

Excellent and engaging introduction to understanding how we think...or often don't. I have enjoyed all of the 'Bootcamp' series.

Excellent and engaging.

Derren Brown is just so interesting. I also found that I actually learned something from these podcasts.

He’s so interesting

It is what you take from it. go in with an open mind; and remember he's a mentalist, as am I. If you are open for some outside influence to hold up the mirror to yourself, fine. If you're expecting a quick fix without any commitment, stop. This is not hypnosis, it's a means to understand ourselves. for that, I think it's good! this is a good 'sleep audio' and not one to be thought too hard about, but worthwhile.

no issue with play

If you like Derren Brown then you will love this. I’ve listened to all 8 episodes and in the future I will probably listen to all 8 again. It’s fun, light, entertaining and interesting to learn about the brain. I would have paid (or used a credit) for this, but it’s free! Fantastic.

Brilliant Listen.

Each episode is interesting and practical, yet short enough not to overwhelm you with information. A great series.

Thought provoking and useful
