Summary
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.

Very interesting listen
I found this so interesting that I have started to listen to it again! It’s very accessible and Ruby Wax’s humour helps to break through the difficult concepts, it’s like being part of an interesting conversation.

So interesting!
Really enjoyed this - didn’t agree with earlier comments about interrupting, Ruby is clearly super engaged with the subject and I felt it was more like a normal two-way conversation where the interviewee respected her opinion and was interested in what she had to say too.

Interesting
An interesting subject that is obviously personal to the author. The only negative is that some of the third party contributor were hard to hear due possibly poor quality recording.
