Stephen Fry

It took us 4 billion years to evolve to where we are now—completely brilliant and yet, some might say, emotionally dwarfed. The question is: can our more empathetic side catch up in time to save us and the world? I have nothing against smarts, but it's smarts without emotional awareness that got us into this position of being able to nuke each other into oblivion and rape the earth for oil.

With a little help from a monk (who tells us how our mind works) and a neuroscientist (who tells us how our brain works), Ruby Wax answers every question you've ever had about:

• evolution
• thoughts
• emotions
• the body
• addictions
• relationships
• sex
• kids
• the future
• compassion.

Filled with witty anecdotes from Ruby's own life, and backed up by smart science and practical mindfulness exercises, How to Be Human is the only manual you need right now to help you upgrade your mind as much as you've upgraded your iPhone.

Ruby has beautifully fused neurology and spirituality and given us a means to cope with operating both a mind and a brain. If this mental upgrade works, then all other books will become defunct as we repose in bliss.

Russell Brand

How to Be Human is, without exaggeration, a lifeline; wise, practical, and funny, it is a handbook for those in despair. It is actually for everyone alive, for the curious, or disillusioned or muddled or just plain happy.
