Ruby Wax: UK Tour – How To be Human
Various on 01 - 12 Feb - 19.30


in How to Be Human: The Manual, published in January 2018, I set out to answer lifes big questions about what makes us human and how our minds work. It took us 4 billion years to evolve to where we are now ‒ completely brilliant and yet, some might say, emotionally dwarfed. The question is: can our more empathetic side catch up in time to save us and the world? Ive got nothing against smarts, but its smarts without emotional awareness that got us into this position of being able to nuke each other into oblivion and rape the earth for oil. With a little help from a monk (who tells us how our mind works) and a neuroscientist (who tells us how our brain works), I answer every question youve ever had about: evolution, thoughts, emotions, the body, addictions, relationships, sex, kids, the future and compassion. Filled with witty anecdotes from my own life, and backed up by smart science and practical mindfulness exercises, How to be Human is the only manual you need to help you upgrade your mind as much as youve upgraded your iPhone.
