About the Book

Sane New World: A User's Guide to the Normal-Crazy Mind

The #1 UK bestseller that presents a funny, honest and engaging look at the craziness of modern life, explaining why we’re all just a little bit out of our minds.

In SANE NEW WORLD, Ruby Wax --- comedian, writer and mental health advocate --- shows us just how our minds can send us mad as our internal critics play on a permanent loop tape "Don’t do that.. why you… you didn’t… should have… but you didn’t…". Ruby knows those voices well. She has been on a tough but ultimately enlightening journey that has taken her from battling depression to achieving a Masters Degree from Oxford University in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy.

In SANE NEW WORLD, Ruby helps us all understand why we sabotage our sanity, how our brains work and how we can rewire our thinking --- often through simple mindfulness techniques --- to find calm in a frenetic world.
