Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled, written and read by Ruby Wax.

Five hundred years ago no-one died of stress: we have invented this concept and now we let it rule us. Rest has become a dirty word, and our idea of satisfaction is answering the last email. We're sleepwalking through our own lives. Ruby Wax shows us how to wake up from this stupor with a scientific solution to modern problems: mindfulness.

Outrageously witty, smart and accessible, Ruby Wax shows ordinary people how and why to change for good. With practical exercises for your daily routine, and a six-week course based on her studies of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy with Mark Williams at Oxford University, A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled is the only guide you need for a healthier, happier life.

Fantastically detailed. It had me gripped from start to finish. It was scientifically detailed and yet relayed all that science into laymen’s terms, so that I completely understood everything. It made me giggle throughout. I still use this book when I need to and can dip in and out of it as needed.

Ruby Wax has always been my kind of person. She has a great outlook on the world, an honest view of herself and a top rate mind, which she uses here to full effect to get readers to grips with a broad and complex subject. This book contains useful guided lessons and tips, a superb explanation of both the scientific and experiential elements of the practice, as well as rich seams of shocking humour thrown in. This caused my jaw to drop in some places and me to uncontrollably burst out laughing at other moments. A great book and nice to hear her reading it too.

Great book. Love Ruby. Both humourous & knowledgable. A straight forward and easily understandable insight into our crazy brains & why we are full of insecurities.
