'With this marvellous book, Ruby Wax has confirmed her position as
one of the most readable, inspirational and engaging writers in the
field of human mental health, happiness and fulfilment.' Stephen
Fry "It took us 4 billion years to evolve to where we are now -
completely brilliant and yet, some might say, emotionally dwarfed.
The question is: can our more empathetic side catch up in time to
save us and the world? I've got nothing against smarts, but it's
smarts without emotional awareness that got us into this position
of being able to nuke each other into oblivion and rape the earth
for oil." With a little help from a monk (who tells us how our mind
works) and a neuroscientist (who tells us how our brain works),
Ruby Wax answers every question you've ever had about: evolution,
thoughts, emotions, the body, addictions, relationships, sex, kids,
the future and compassion. Filled with witty anecdotes from Ruby's
own life, and backed up by smart science and practical mindfulness
exercises, How to be Human is the only manual you need right now to
help you upgrade your mind as much as you've upgraded your iphone.
'Ruby has beautifully fused neurology and spirituality and given us
a means to cope with operating both a mind and a brain. If this
mental upgrade works then all other books will become defunct as we
repose in bliss.' Russell Brand 'How to Be Human is, without
exaggeration, a lifeline; wise, practical and funny, it is a
handbook for those in despair. It is actually for everyone alive,
for the curious, or disillusioned or muddled or just plain happy.'
