Mindfulness Guide for the frazzles

I love this book A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled. I carry this book in my bag and lend it to friends. It is also useful to remind yourself of the exercises so when I am feeling a little anxious or I have a full blown attack, I read the exerciises and it help me rethink and challenge my thoughts. Highly recommended. I so hope that the other books do as well as this one. I have purchased Sane New World too and that is so helpful as she was struggling with depression when she wrote it and toured and it inspired me to rethink my working practices and give myself a break from the major depressive episodes I have had and still have today. Having depression is a living nightmare and I can now feel that I am achieving and I have an explanation for my condition, allowing me to explain my illness to others and have the vocabulary. Thank you so much Ruby you are amazing.

Tasty morsel

There is not really a story to judge, but I found her enthusiasm for this subject very contagious, and will explore her other books because of this interview. It would seem she has kept her humour as the basis for her other full length books. I also liked her down to earth approach to mental health issues, which appear to be on the increase, or perhaps we are becoming less repressed about acknowledging the problem widely exists.

what an amazing take on mindfulness.

I have been trying mindfulness for a while now and have met some stigma. My colleagues, friends and most of my family think I'm mad or at least a little bit odd as they don't understand . But it is something that has helped with my depression, anxiety and the pressures of being the only positive role model for my children. Thank you Ruby for reminding me that I'm not alone and that there can always be a funny or humorous side of things. I look forward to reading your book.

Highlighting & Awareness

I only recently got into Ruby Wax & have suffered from depression for many many years. I'm up then down but listening to Ruby brings humour into it.

Interesting, brief insight into mindfulness

Her passion for the subject of mindfulness comes across in the interview and I do believe she was one of the first ‘celebrities’ to start discussing the subject. I think the world is slowly starting to listen and understand the concept & it’s importance in everyday life. Doesn’t just apply to people suffering from depression, but for everyone.
