About this listen

A longtime advocate of mental health awareness, Ruby Wax is no stranger to depression, a fact that is poignantly illustrated in her audiobook, Sane New World. Now she wants to share her vision of how to be happier and healthier versions of ourselves by embracing mindfulness - a simple concept that can seem challenging in regular practice, but this audiobook deftly illustrates a more accessible and sensible guide to finding peace in a hectic world.

Five hundred years ago no one died of stress: we have invented this concept, and now we let it rule us. Rest has become a dirty word, and our idea of satisfaction is answering the last email. We're sleepwalking through our own lives. Ruby Wax shows us how to wake up from this stupor with a scientific solution to modern problems: mindfulness.

Outrageously witty, smart and accessible, Ruby Wax shows ordinary people how and why to change for good. With practical exercises for your daily routine and a six-week course based on her studies of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy with Mark Williams at Oxford University, A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled is the only guide you need for a healthier, happier life.

As I listened it was quite amazing how what Ruby discussed could have been about me, in fact it felt like I should have written it but was pipped to the post. It was intelligent and absolutely clear in its complexity. I've always been a great fan and empathise with her journey. A must read/listen for the 'Frazzled'. Full of practical ways to tame the beast that is the mind/brain conundrum. Thoroughly enjoyable.

I have always admired ruby wax and I never knew all this until I listened to her. I hear so much of ruby in myself and she explains it all so clearly, her stories are emotional yet inspirational. and nobody but ruby could have berated this. also she made me smile with some of her quirkyness

brilliant and amazing woman

Absolutely love this and every Ruby Wax Audiobook on here. Extremely Sad there are no more. So insightful and really makes you think about how you get trapped in your own thoughts and how to find your way out of self doubt. Would highly recommend. Especially to those wanting to have children, I so wish I had read this years ago when my son was little.

excellent, easy to follow and understand.
