About this listen
A longtime advocate of mental health awareness, Ruby Wax is no stranger to depression, a fact that is poignantly illustrated in her audiobook, Sane New World. Now she wants to share her vision of how to be happier and healthier versions of ourselves by embracing mindfulness - a simple concept that can seem challenging in regular practice, but this audiobook deftly illustrates a more accessible and sensible guide to finding peace in a hectic world.
Five hundred years ago no one died of stress: we have invented this concept, and now we let it rule us. Rest has become a dirty word, and our idea of satisfaction is answering the last email. We're sleepwalking through our own lives. Ruby Wax shows us how to wake up from this stupor with a scientific solution to modern problems: mindfulness.
Outrageously witty, smart and accessible, Ruby Wax shows ordinary people how and why to change for good. With practical exercises for your daily routine and a six-week course based on her studies of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy with Mark Williams at Oxford University, A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled is the only guide you need for a healthier, happier life.

great down to earth book
Very entertaining and great introduction to mindfullness. Very well researched and supported explanaitions. Was easy to listen to as Ruby has a very down to earth, no nonsense way of explaining the concepts of mindfullness. The six week exercise guide was fabulous.

Don’t bother until extra PDF for instructions
Read well and interesting but not practical to follow and learn every day for 6 weeks. The structure should teach the background and science, then practical at the end- with a PDF fit support.
