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 enjoyed this book and listened to it narrated by Ruby. I certainly learnt some things but find Ruby herself a bit irritating at times as she keeps interrupting people. I still recommend it as a good listen.

Interesting
