Ruby Wax's No-Brainer: It's All in the Mind: An Audible Original

I enjoyed this book and listened to it narrated by Ruby Wax on audible. 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 read.

I loved this audible...so interesting, informative and so so funny! Really made me laugh with Ruby’s comments, although it is a little annoying that she interrupts people a lot...but you get used to it, great to listen to however.

This is a great listen. Ruby is as interested and fascinated in the answers relating to human behaviour and the brain that she receives from a range of experts as the listener is. I found myself constantly telling friends and family about what I had heard that day. From the generations of mice fearing the scent of cherry blossom to babies born during the post-war famine in the Netherlands to NFL players with brain injuries, all human and animal life is here. Essential listening - you hear things you didn't know you didn't know but that everybody should know. And because it's Ruby Wax, it's always funny, always entertaining and a little bit like listening to someone else's therapy session.

This is not really a what to do book/audio book, but it will still have a profound effect on you. Having 'suffered' mental illness (and wellness) in my own (and my family's) life, its great to get this sort of perspective. We all know the pain is real when its there, but its good to know that this comes often from an evolutionary 'good' place and being hypersensitive etc is why we actually survived (blame your ancestors) in the first place. More important is the good news, Neuroplasticity!...Its actually possible to change your brain and not just mumbo jumbo, its all science! Once you realize this, it means you can look forward to being able to have control or at least more control over your thoughts and the corresponding feelings. Good luck (whichever path you take) and Thank You Ruby for being brave enough to change yourself and help others to do the same :-)

A very enjoyable book to learn more about applicable psychology!

Her written books are brilliant but the audible version is exceptional. Thank you, Ruby x

Ruby explains matters of mental health in a way that you cannot ignore. This book really focuses on why you think the way you do but more importantly let’s you know you can change! Everything is possible
