Derren Brown is a mine of wisdom, humanity and kindness - everything we need to sustain and nourish ourselves. Alain de BottonThe phrase "it's fine" appears a lot in this book, when it regards everything we can't control ie. anything but our thoughts and actions, and I've already adapted this into the road rage I have experienced, for example: I particularly appreciated and enjoyed the stand-up comedian's Louis C.K.'s telling of anger on the road.

In 2008, Brown made a guest acting appearance in BBC Four's Crooked House as Sir Roger Widdowson.
