About this listen
Could we be happier? Calmer? Better human beings?
In this Audible Original, Ruby Wax hunts down her heroes - brain scientists - in the UK and across America, to learn more about what makes us tick: why we get stressed, how we feel pain, what makes us addicted - and has a lot of fun along the way.
She faces death with Past Mortems author Carla Valentine, explores how video games affect our attention with gamification expert Gabe Zichermann, and discovers the benefits of vaginal smearing with Professor Tim Spector. Natural Born Learners author Alex Beard reveals what teenagers really need to know for a good education and visitors to a New York soup kitchen help Ruby confront her fear of compassion.
In No-Brainer Ruby draws on memories of her own difficult childhood and long history of depression and makes you laugh out loud with her frank observations and anarchic questions. You’ll learn a lot about your brain, and hear a ton of advice on how to use it better.

A No-Brainer Buy
I'm a big Ruby Wax fan which is why my daughter is called Ruby, but you don't have to be a fan or even like Ruby to get a lot out of this book. Its intelligent and in depth information from some of the world's great brain and mind experts is brought to life by Ruby's infectious enthusiasm for the subject. I have learnt a lot from the book, so much so that I listened to the book twice consecutively and will need to do so again, and probably again, to absorb its fascinating insights into the brain. Thanks to all concerned and thanks Ruby, a great book.

interruptions
A most annoying habit where someone is talking and Ruby gets the point before the speaker has finished and buts in, before the speaker has made their point. In any recording when two people talk at the same time the clarity is lost especially if one person is gabbling at twice the speed of light.
The content was very interesting but my mind wandered off now and then.....

An energetic presentation
Some very useful areas of reasearch. I had not heard of brain plasticity term. This gives new hope to older people. I think this dispels the myth of not teaching an old dog new tricks.

Really worth listening to
Very interesting and Ruby Wax is obviously great. I struggle to find meaning in the world and often can’t help but see life as a bit pointless. This helped
