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.

Very informed look at how your brain works

I love all Ruby's books. THEY are a wonderful insight to why mental health is so important and sometimes out of our chemical control.
She gives me hope along with the funnies that sometimes need to be made about negative stereo types

Enjoyable

I wasn't sure about this when I got it but I'm glad I did. it's very interesting and has a good flow. I listened to the entire thing in one go. Only thing that let it down was Ruby sometimes talking over the professionals while I was listening to their answers.
