Book Synopsis


Trade Review
An exceptional account on mental health from a true tour de force. We're all a little messed up in our own ways, but we should all strive to be as fabulously fearless as Ruby -- Fearne Cotton
Not only will this book make you feel less alone, it also might just change your life -- Scarlett Curtis
If you buy only one book this year, make it this one. Brilliant, heartbreakingly funny and painful: I couldn't put it down -- Joanna Lumley
A book about ways to find yourself, from someone who knows that she is lost. I'm glad this book exists -- Neil Gaiman
Nobody can make the serious funny and the funny serious quite like Ruby. It's why she is so important to the mental-health debate -- Alastair Campbell
One of the most powerful books of the year * The Daily Mail *
An unflinchingly honest account * iNews *
An open account of the benefits of therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, can only benefit readers and the book is a firm reminder that everyone can struggle * iNews *
Follow Wax on the winding road on which she tries to find herself, where you'll encounter many side-splitting laughs, the odd tear and no doubt fragments of yourself along the way * ES Magazine *
There is no-one as witty, inspiring and frank as Ruby Wax when it comes to mental health - this book provides a brutally honest and thoughtful insight into Wax's journey, including conversations with therapists and the highs and lows of fame * The Herald *
A typically sharp read, full of wit and brutally honest observations * The Irish News *
[Ruby Wax] is a force of nature, but also like so many of us, an incredibly fragile one [...] Her latest book is possibly her most honest yet. * BBC Radio 5 Live *
