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.

I stumbled upon Ruby while looking for my next Audible audiobook. I’m thrilled that I found this book. I have listened to it while doing my daily 3 mile walk and learned some strategies I can use to live with my 21 year old who has a history of Depression and the latest diagnosis being Bipolar.
I especially loved how honest Ruby was. In the last chapter, for example, she was very upset with her test results regarding aging and openly told the doctor she was very disappointed with the results. It takes balls to share that way with an audience. (I think Ruby would say it that way).
Personally, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer (non-smoker) that metastasized to various other parts of my body, especially my brain. For folks with a diagnosis that is less than wonderful, I recommend Ruby’s approach to mindfulness. I have outlived my prognosis for almost a year and plan to continue what has worked so far, which includes a GIANT dose of mindfulness.
I’m looking forward to my next Ruby Wax audiobook.

"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

Well-produced 90 minute bio of Mr. Taylor. If you like his music, the backstory of many songs will rekindle your appreciation of his work.
