Sane New World: Taming The Mind by Ruby Wax

4.0

Wax is brave and funny woman opens up with interplay with her own story and facts on the mind. This helps the facts seem conversational, easier to process and stops from becoming overly preachy. This book has many faults though. There are very broad generalisations, repetition (her references to her degrees for instance) and a few placements of bad jokes. There are also negative jokes that are stereotyping of: illnesses, cultures or sexualities and he pronouns for refferences to humanity as a whole. It is in need of a good editor.
Aside from these faults, Wax communicates her subject matter with passion, knowledge, and wit. The book explains things in a refreshingly different manner with an easier way of comprehending the diverse subject matters within the text.
