How to be Human - Ruby Wax

Most of us will know Ruby for her comedy but having gained a masters degree in mindfulness based cognitive therapy, she is becoming increasingly known for her books on mental health and how mindfulness can help us all in our increasingly frenetic modern lives.

Ruby has written a number of books in the last decade, all of which I can recommend, with this one being my personal favourite. I prefer to listen to Ruby narrate the book on Audible, with her co-authors- Ash Ranpura (a neuroscientist) and Gelong Thubten (a monk), who explain how mindfulness works from different angles. Obviously Ruby injects a lot of humour into the subject but the three together really bring the book alive.
