Sane New World
Sane New World: A User's Guide to the Normal-Crazy Mind | Ruby Wax
4 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
The #1 UK bestseller that presents a funny, honest, and engaging look at the craziness of modern life, explaining why we’re all just a little bit out of our minds. In Sane New World, Ruby Wax - comedian, writer and mental health advocate - shows us just how our minds can send us mad as our internal critics play on a permanent loop tape ‘Don’t do that.. why you... you didn’t... should have... but you didn’t...’. Ruby knows those voices well. She has been on a tough but ultimately enlightening journey that has taken her from battling depression to achieving a Masters Degree from Oxford University in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy. In Sane New World, Ruby helps us all understand why we sabotage our sanity, how our brains work and how we can rewire our thinking – often through simple mindfulness techniques - to find calm in a frenetic world.

Really loved this book. Having suffered with anxiety at different times of my life I found it really informative but without over complicating or preaching! I will definitely be reading more of Ruby Wax books in future

I loved this book. It informed me, made me laugh and I felt less alone in the way I feel sometimes. She is amazing, brave and very wise. I could hear her voice as I read. She explains , in simple language, mental disorders and what can be done about them. A great read for everyone. @MrsMalaprop

LeeRHarry Ruby Wax is great, I saw her a few years ago and she talked so candidly about her illness. 5y

This was recommended by a friend who also suffered with anxiety and emotional health.
It was a quick read. I'm not sure I'd pass it on to anyone else. But appreciate that she's very honest about her journey.

An easy to read, infused with humour, introduction to mindfulness. I admire her honesty about living with depression and her courage to take on uni as a mature student to learn about the brain.
