A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled

Product Information

An insightful and wickedly funny look at mindfulness, but mostly the anecdotal look at the author's experiences with depresion. It’s an easy-to-understand introduction to mindfulness, weaved together with Ruby’s trademark wit and humour. I very much liked Ruby Wax's first book "Sane New World: Taming The Mind" which was a very interesting read insightful and funny but this tried to be all things to all women/men as a guide to mindfulness and so included chapters for teenagers and children etc, but for me it felt very much like a retread of her first book with some additional information specific to mindfulness and specific about her own experiences with mental illness which although interesting was not why I bought the book.

Understanding the 'why' is a clear positive, but I would like to be able to effect some changes to improve the 'why not' ability. A super chapter for parents on introducing concepts of being mindful for children was particularly engaging and made a lot of sense, although not having children I am guessing my judgemental head sees the impractical as practical. I probably wouldn't have picked up this book if it hadn't been recommended to me -- and I have to say that some of the exercises just don't work for me. I admit that at this time I haven't gone through the mindfulness excersises in the book, or the section on parenting and teenagers, but I may go back and update the review when I do. Knowing that a celebrity who has plenty of money, maybe a fancy house and all the things I don't, goes through the same feelings and issues I have is reassuring that despite your gender, race, financial situations etc.These often tread the line between funny and harrowing and I feel are mostly useful in describing a certain mental state that mindfulness can help with.

I rationalize it like this: of course, my attention is always everywhere because of my faith and my intune-ness to my feelings. for anyone new to Mindfulness this book is a good introduction and a great read that can be dipped in and out of as and when needed.The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network.
