A practical and inspiring new book by the Number One Sunday Times bestselling author of A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled.
Ruby Wax is a successful comedian, TV writer and performer of over 25 years. Ruby additionally holds a Master's degree in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy from Oxford University, and was awarded an OBE in 2015 for her services to mental health. She is the author of books Sane New World and A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled, and has toured all over the world with the accompanying one-woman shows. Both books have reached the number one spot on The Sunday Times bestsellers list.
With this marvellous book, Ruby Wax has confirmed her position as
one of the most readable, inspirational and engaging writers in the
field of human mental health, happiness and fulfilment.
*Stephen Fry*
Ruby has beautifully fused neurology and spirituality and given us
a means to cope with operating both a mind and a brain. If this
mental upgrade works then all other books will become defunct as we
repose in bliss.
*Russell Brand*
How to Be Human is, without exaggeration, a lifeline; wise,
practical and funny, it is a handbook for those in despair. It is
actually for everyone alive, for the curious, or disillusioned or
muddled or just plain happy. Ruby, the Monk and the Neuroscientist
are today's Magi.
*Joanna Lumley*
Ruby Wax is a stitch. And this stitch can make you laugh while
showing you some exceedingly useful things to heal and transform
your life. What she is pointing to is way too serious to take too
seriously. Seriously!
*Jon kabat-Zinn*
As I expected its funny and thoroughly readable but what I hadn't
expected was that it would change the way I think about how I
think. Remarkable work from Miss Wax
*Jennifer Saunders*
Ready to laugh and cry as you dive deeply into what it means to be
human? Guiding us across evolution, from the far past into the
present and even preparing us for the future, Ruby Wax and her
neuroscientist and meditating monk colleagues provide us with a
science-informed, practical, and humorous guide that is as
hysterical as it is profound. Be prepared to feel your way into
well-being with this magnificent blending of entertainment and
education into the nature of our minds' thoughts, feelings, and
identity as you explore and expand who really you are.
*Daniel J. Siegel*
A three way encounter between a Monk, a neuroscientist and Ruby Wax
sounds like the set up for a joke. Instead it's produced one of the
most fascinating, intriguing and informative books about minds and
bodies and brains and mindfulness I've ever encountered. A
triangulation on what it means to be human. Utterly readable and
surprisingly wise.
*Neil Gaiman*
Ruby Wax has spent a lifetime trying to be human.... with this
book, she's so very nearly there...
*Dawn French*
This is a present for your head and your heart. Do yourself a
favour and read it, you'll love it
*Davina McCall*
A guide to mindfulness that's as hilarious as it is useful
*Arianna Huffington on 'A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled'*
