mahowarth 's review for:
Sane New World: Taming The Mind
by Ruby Wax
I originally read this book a few years ago when I was feeling normal, in my past I had had two depressive episodes and was curious as to what the book had to say. The book explains how the brain works and how mental health issues can develop and the science behind why mindfulness can be used as well as some exercises to put it into practice. I appreciated the science as I am engineer and am more interested in evidence than new age bullshit. The book convinced me enough that when I entered a third depressive episode almost a year later, mindfulness was one of the coping methods I turned to and is something I still practice to this day. The reason I only give this book three stars is that I found the writing style very jumpy and as a result it made it hard to recall the flow of ideas.
