Ruby Wax - Sane New World

A manual on how to survive the 21st century

2017 · 71 min · ★ 10.0 · Comedy, Documentary

Ruby Wax - comedian, writer, mental health campaigner - shows us just how our minds can send us mad as our internal critics play on a permanent loop tape. Ruby knows this only too well. She has been on a tough but enlightening journey through depression which has taken her from The Priory through to an MA from Oxford University in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy. This show helps us all understand why we sabotage our sanity, how our brains work and how we can rewire our thinking to find calm in a frenetic world. Helping you become the master, not the slave, of your mind, this show is your route to saner living. Recorded live at the Arts Theatre in 2016
