Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Habe die "lange" Version (Happy) nicht gelesen, bin aber von dieser kurzen Version sehr angetan. Für mich ein sehr schöner Zugang zur stoischen Sicht auf die Dinge des Alltags. Ich denke auch für "alte Hasen der Stoa" wird es interessante Gedanken geben - zumindestens war es bei mir so. Dabei geht für mich weniger um die Grundsätze der Philosophie, sondern die Art des Autors diese Gedanken in lebensnahen Bezügen zu interpretieren. Von meiner Seite eine klare Empfehlung.
After trying hard to read an absorb the much bigger book by Derren Brown, Happy, I tried this one. Its a much easier read and seems to touch on mostly the same points in a very easily digested way. I recommend this book to anyone, especially if you're struggling with how dense and difficult (albeit in a great way) the much larger Happy book is.
That's probably all that I need to write. This little book explains Derren's philosophy of life, which is heavily based in Stoicism. Rather than chase often unachievable goals and endless acquisitions, he argues that to live a happier life we need to realise that we cannot control the future. Instead we should accept that which we cannot control and try to manage our judgement of events rather than the events themselves.
If there's one thing we know about Derren Brown it's that he really understands what makes human beings tick. Full of wisdom and insight, I'd recommend this to everyone.
I saw a few comments that I would be better off reading the longer Happy book. I picked this one because it was on offer! While it probably doesn't go into as much detail, I found it very digestible and a useful reminder. He's not reinventing the wheel with any of this and much of this advice we already know but we are all so likely to temporarily forget it and fail to apply it to our lives. His message is very much aligned with Alain de Botton's School of Life YouTude channel. I genuinely think it would be virtually impossible for anyone to read, understand and apply this advice and not feel a little more fulfilled with life. What other reason would you need to spend your time reading this?
