Publisher's Summary

Could we be happier? Calmer? Better human beings? 

In this Audible Original, Ruby Wax hunts down her heroes - brain scientists - in the UK and across America, to learn more about what makes us tick: why we get stressed, how we feel pain, what makes us addicted - and has a lot of fun along the way.  

She faces death with Past Mortems author Carla Valentine, explores how video games affect our attention with gamification expert Gabe Zichermann, and discovers the benefits of vaginal smearing with Professor Tim Spector. Natural Born Learners author Alex Beard reveals what teenagers really need to know for a good education and visitors to a New York soup kitchen help Ruby confront her fear of compassion. 

In No-Brainer Ruby draws on memories of her own difficult childhood and long history of depression and makes you laugh out loud with her frank observations and anarchic questions. You’ll learn a lot about your brain, and hear a ton of advice on how to use it better.

Annoying interruptions

The material was quite interesting but it was really distracting with the author interrupting each of her guests, almost continuously.

Just ask the question & wait for the answer, you don’t need to try to show how clever you are by preempting the speaker & cutting them off.

Stimulating info

The audio levels aren't even which makes it hard to hear sometimes. Otherwise, it's wonderful.
