About this listen

Could we be happier? Calmer? Better human beings?

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. Natural Born Learners author Alex Beard reveals what teenagers really need to know for a good education and visitors to a New York soup kitchen help Ruby confront her fear of compassion.

In No-Brainer Ruby draws on memories of her own difficult childhood and long history of depression and makes you laugh out loud with her frank observations and anarchic questions. You’ll learn a lot about your brain, and hear a ton of advice on how to use it better.

I found this quite interesting but I viewed it from a distance as I am 86 which definitely made it a strange experience. .I do think that its no good fearing old age. Poor Ruby, just accept it and make the best of it. It's quite a big challenge.

My audible mind.

I'm a big Ruby Wax fan which is why my daughter is called Ruby, but you don't have to be a fan or even like Ruby to get a lot out of this book. Its intelligent and in depth information from some of the world's great brain and mind experts is brought to life by Ruby's infectious enthusiasm for the subject. I have learnt a lot from the book, so much so that I listened to the book twice consecutively and will need to do so again, and probably again, to absorb its fascinating insights into the brain. Thanks to all concerned and thanks Ruby, a great book.
