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.

Fabulous
Informative, thought provoking, loads of giggles with a dash of a good reality check.
Tip: Have a pin handy for other books, scientists and much more!

Ruby Ruby Ruby
My first memory of Ruby Wax was on tv with French and Saunders.. I think it was ‘Girls on Top’..?
I was only 7.. I thought she was amazing! The red hair, the red lips, the red nails! She was loud and unapologetic.. she was everything I loved, but too scared to ever be. Learning about her depression and the struggles she has had.. I realise now we are more alike than I ever thought possible. I have loved every second of this podcast and the journey Ruby has taken me on while listening. Thank-you Ruby! Xxoo
