*/Storytelling and Collective Psychology: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Life 
and the Work of Derren Brown/**/
/*
/This book examines the work of psychological illusionist Derren Brown 
to understand the significance of storytelling and ancient philosophy in 
our society. Reflecting on the social disconnection and political 
polarization of recent times, Darren Kelsey considers how we can rebuild 
a sense of collective cohesion and common good, weaving together 
contemporary psychology with ancient Stoicism to cut through the noise 
of modern life. Kelsey shows that Brown is more than a stage performer: 
he’s an enlightened magician who offers us guidance for navigating the 
challenges life throws at us, using his skills and wisdom to help us 
better understand ourselves and enable human flourishing. In this 
rigorous examination of Brown’s work, Kelsey makes a compelling case for 
paying closer attention to our personal, cultural and political stories 
and beliefs to help create a better future – for ourselves, our 
communities, and the planet.
