Reviews

An exceptional account on mental health from a true tour de force. We're all a little messed up in our own ways, but we should all strive to be as fabulously fearless as Ruby
*Fearne Cotton*

Not only will this book make you feel less alone, it also might just change your life
*Scarlett Curtis*

If you buy only one book this year, make it this one. Brilliant, heartbreakingly funny and painful: I couldn't put it down
*Joanna Lumley*

Nobody can make the serious funny and the funny serious quite like Ruby. It's why she is so important to the mental-health debate
*Alastair Campbell*

One of the most powerful books of the year
*The Daily Mail*

An unflinchingly honest account

An open account of the benefits of therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, can only benefit readers and the book is a firm reminder that everyone can struggle

Follow Wax on the winding road on which she tries to find herself, where you'll encounter many side-splitting laughs, the odd tear and no doubt fragments of yourself along the way
*ES Magazine*

There is no-one as witty, inspiring and frank as Ruby Wax when it comes to mental health - this book provides a brutally honest and thoughtful insight into Wax's journey, including conversations with therapists and the highs and lows of fame

A typically sharp read, full of wit and brutally honest observations
