Beyond simplistic narratives of normativity and difference, this groundbreaking book exposes the very myth of the 'normal' brain as a product of intensified capitalism.

Ruby Wax - comedian, writer and mental health campaigner - shows us how our minds can jeopardize our sanity.

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 is a guide to anxiety: why we feel it, how we experience it when it strikes, and what we can do when we come under its influence. Across a series of essays that look at the subject from a number of angles, the tone is helpful, compassionate, and in the best sense, practical.
