Ruby Wax

A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled

Hay Festival 2016, 

“500 years ago no one died of stress; we invented this concept and now we let it rule us. We might have evolved to be able to miraculously balance on seven-inch heels, but as far as our emotional development is concerned we’re still swimming with the pond scum. If we don’t advance our more human qualities then we’re doomed, evolution-wise, to become cyborgs, with an imprint of an Apple where our hearts used to be.” Ruby Wax shows us a scientific solution to these modern problems: mindfulness.
