The Cosmic Shambles Network is proud to present the London launch of The Happy Brain, the new book by neuroscientist Dr Dean Burnett.

Dean delves deep into the inner workings of our minds to explore some fundamental questions about happiness. For starters: what does it actually mean to be happy? Where does it come from? And is there a secret to making it last forever?

Dean will attempt to answer these questions and more in conversation with comedian and broadcaster Robin Ince (The Infinite Monkey Cage). By the end of the evening, all in attendance will undoubtedly be much happier than when they arrived. Or maybe not. That’s not really how the science works we don’t think. Good thing Dean’s going to be there to explain it all properly.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase and Dean will be signing them afterwards.

The Happy Brain is Dean’s follow up to The Idiot Brain, the acclaimed international bestseller.
