Sane New World: Taming the Mind

Note: This mostly good book appears to be unread.  The pages have yellowed a very tiny bit but don't let that throw you, it barely affects the book and it certainly doesn't affect the reading experience.  

Description:

Comedian, writer, and mental health campaigner Ruby Wax explores how our minds can drive us to madness and how we can rewire our thinking to find calm in a frenetic world. Drawing from her own experiences with depression and her Masters from Oxford in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, Wax explains how our busy, self-critical thoughts lead to anxiety and stress. To break this cycle, she emphasizes the importance of understanding how our brains work and using mindfulness to rewire our thinking. This manual aims to help you become the master, not the slave, of your mind, offering a guide to achieving saner living.
