Publisher Description
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
One of British television’s most energetic comedians, Ruby Wax has emerged as a true mindfulness champion. How to be Human saw the American bare her soul in showing how mindfulness can bring contentment, and here she provides a more tangible, step-by-step guide to achieve a healthier and happier life. Naturally, it’s packed full of irreverent wit and warm self-deprecation: something that gives this an edge over often po-faced, inapproachable titles promising to unlock mindfulness.
Customer Reviews
Funny and Authoritative
Since Ruby actually got a degree in this kind of thing, the book already has weight to it, which she would quite rightly admit a topic like this needs- particularly so that it isn’t tainted by the superficial gawd of celebrity.
What I love about her is the ability to meld a complex subject with the sort of humour that immediately makes me trust and love her point of view.
It’s not Lorraine Kelly talking about Sunshine and fluffy kittens. It’s a clever, funny intelligent woman mixing in the talent that she naturally has, with the learning that she has worked so hard to obtain.
Perfect and unique.

Frazzled
I was frazzled by this largely turgid stream of consciousness which could have benefitted from substantial editing. I hope it was therapeutic for the author. It wasn't for me!
