In this Audible Original, Ruby Wax hunts down her heroes - brain scientists - in the UK and across America, to learn more about what makes us tick: why we get stressed, how we feel pain, what makes us addicted - and has a lot of fun along the way. She faces death with Past Mortems author Carla Valentine, explores how video games affect our attention with gamification expert Gabe Zichermann, and discovers the benefits of vaginal smearing with Professor Tim Spector.

With a little help from a monk (who tells us how our mind works) and a neuroscientist (who tells us how our brain works), Ruby Wax answers every question you've ever had about evolution, thoughts, emotions, the body, addictions, relationships, sex, kids, the future and compassion. Filled with witty anecdotes from Ruby's own life, and backed up by smart science and practical mindfulness exercises, How to be Human is the only manual you need to help you upgrade your mind as much as you've upgraded your iPhone.

Ruby Wax - comedian, writer and mental health campaigner - shows us how our minds can jeopardize our sanity. With her own periods of depression and now a Masters from Oxford in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy to draw from, she explains how our busy, chattering, self-critical thoughts drive us to anxiety and stress. If we are to break the cycle, we need to understand how our brains work, rewire our thinking and find calm in a frenetic world.

This workbook is a guide on how to drop anchor when life, and the world around you, gets too daunting. It's filled with exercises and information for when you're suddenly forced to confront the hard truths or as I like to call them, the BIG SIX realities - difficult emotions, uncertainty, loneliness, change, dissatisfaction and death. It isn't just about how to get through a pandemic.... Or the post-pandemic fall-out. It is a WAKE-UP call. One that will increase your awareness of every moment through mindfulness.

Stress ist heute allgegenwärtig und beeinflusst unseren Körper und unsere Psyche auf alarmierende Weise. Wir können gleichzeitig telefonieren und E-Mails schreiben, doch wie wir auf uns selbst achten und auf unser Inneres hören, haben wir verlernt. Ruby Wax rät uns zu einem wirkungsvollen Gegenmittel: Achtsamkeit. Mit Witz und Charme erklärt sie, dass Achtsamkeit nicht bedeutet, dass man sein Geschirr begrüßen muss, bevor man es abwäscht. Achtsamkeit bedeutet vielmehr, Stress und Druck zu reduzieren, indem wir Kleinigkeiten in unserem Alltag verändern und Gefühle und Gedanken wirklich wahrnehmen.
