A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled

Product Information

I remember Ruby Wax from my childhood, but didn't have a clue about her academic achievements, or her struggles with mental health. I did get the feeling as I read through the book though, that perhaps my problems weren't entirely relevant. Ths author, Ruby Wax, was helpful for not letting the reader get sidetracked and lost in the science.

She turns a complicated subject into real life and tells her real stories about how she leads a normal but mindful life. I am now a big Ruby Wax fan and I can recommend this book and have given it a well deserved five stars.I rationalize it like this: of course, my attention is always everywhere because of my faith and my intune-ness to my feelings. Understanding the 'why' is a clear positive, but I would like to be able to effect some changes to improve the 'why not' ability. The final chapters around her personal challenge of a week long meditation was fantastic, eating a digestive today was a different experience for me too!

I very much liked Ruby Wax's first book "Sane New World: Taming The Mind" which was a very interesting read insightful and funny but this tried to be all things to all women/men as a guide to mindfulness and so included chapters for teenagers and children etc, but for me it felt very much like a retread of her first book with some additional information specific to mindfulness and specific about her own experiences with mental illness which although interesting was not why I bought the book. Ruby Wax has an extraordinary mind , and she has brought it to bear with trademark wit and searing honesty .It's partly a defence mechanism brought on by so much of my day (the work part, mostly) being so soul-destroyingly banal and repetitive. Dis-agile manualetto sulla Mindfulness (intro/vaghe spiegazioni/nozioni random riguardo a cervello e suo funzionamento/tipico corso in x settimane/esperienze personali), in questo caso scritto da una (ex, suppongo) comica e TEDtalker. In November 2017, she was announced as the president of the UK’s leading relationship support charity Relate. It describes how to improve your well being by being aware of your surroundings and to take time out to practise set exercises and to meditate.

I don’t think that discussion about psychopharmacological drugs belongs in a book about mindfulness. I've listened to podcasts, read other books, talked to people who do it but never understood the benefit of it.She is the author of books Sane New World and A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled , and has toured all over the world with the accompanying one-woman shows.
