Ruby Wax’s latest book is called How To Be Human – The Manual. It’s insightful, funny, warm and engaging. A pleasure to read. It’s like somebody is pouring wisdom into your head while you’re having a chat with them.
Each chapter covers a topic and is wittily written by Wax. For each chapter Wax has consulted with Ash Ranpura, a Neuroscientist and Gelong Thubten, a Buddhist Monk. At the end of each chapter are fascinating transcripts of these discussions. Interspersed throughout How To Be Human Wax shares some of her own mental illness story. So what exactly does Wax cover in How To Be Human? Pretty much everything. Here is each chapter title:
|
- Addiction
- The Future
- Mindfulness Exercises
- Forgiveness
How To Be Human builds on the strong foundations of Wax’s two previously published books: Sane New World – Taming the Mind, which I have reviewed here and A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled, which I have reviewed here.
You can also learn more about Wax by reading her autobiography How Do You Want Me?, which I have reviewed here.
How To Be Human is available to buy on Amazon and at all good book shops.
Review soon,
Antony
