Sane New World: Taming The Mind by Ruby Wax
5.0
Having been suffering with depression for the past year, I have begun looking for other ways to deal with my ruminating negative thoughts and those stressful times that left me in a weeping wreck in work meetings (has actually happened once I think scared me supervisors). Mindfulness has been suggested to me from various sources and up till now I have put of practising it as "have not had enough time".
This book is an awesome mix of the scientific background which causes our brain to become our enemy and Ruby's story of her depression. It is one of those books that show you that the crazy emotions and thoughts you are having are not that unusual and you not alone. I am going to look into a 8 week mindfulness course and until then make time everyday to try and be mindful. One thing that Ruby suggests is just to take 5 seconds every few hours to be truly in the moment and this will be great during those days where I am busy and struggle to fit everything into my day.
I am going to preach the merit of this book to everyone I meet!
