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.

The content is interesting but I couldn’t get past the irritating loop of “spooky” keyboard music in the background. Part of a general tendency towards dumbing down or maybe its because he’s a showman? I gave up after 15 minutes.

Too much background music

I'm ready to take on the world! My overwhelming desire to throat punch individuals has been cured 😀 Thank you Derren 👍

Brilliant!

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

Thought provoking and useful

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.

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
