Ruby Wax in conversation with a Neuroscientist, a Monk & Louise Chunn

Out now: amzn.to/2FEnALP
It took us 4 billion years to evolve to where we are now. No question, anyone reading this has won the ‘Evolutionary Hunger Games’ by the fact you’re on all 2’s and not some fossil. This should make us all the happiest species alive - but most of us aren’t, what’s gone wrong? Why have we started treating ourselves like machines and less like humans? But even as technology takes over the world, we’ll still, fingers crossed, have our minds, which, hopefully, we’ll be able use for things like compassion, rather than chasing what’s ‘better’ - and if we can do that we’re on the yellow brick road to happiness. It’s time to upgrade your mind as often as you upgrade your iPhone.
Hear Ruby Wax, monk Gelong Thubton and neuroscientist Ash Ranpura discuss her new book, How to be Human, covering everything from addictions to relationships, via evolution, sex, kids, compassion, and the future of humanity.

Ruby you are so amazing and work so hard. The amount of interviews and talks about mental health you have given on KZbin is incredible and have helped so many people keep going don't ever slow down

[@jrbon4619]

Ruby, thank you. You are truly changing our views and being mindful.

[@helenbird1664]

Keep up the great work Ruby reaching the nation 💡👍

[@johnrosenbaum8730]

Luv u Ruby. Excellent book. You are an inspiration xx.

[@lekshetsultim7766]

The phrase Ruby is quoting I believe comes originally from Lama Choedak Rinpoche. It goes like this "Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional" Great discussion, very much needed in these time impoverished days. hope there is more of it to come.

[@helenbird1664]

I have enjoyed ‘ Frazzled’ . A great read for people from all walks of life. Why not give the happy trio a read and decide for yourself? A great 👍 insight from different perspectives 😃

[@abigailmendoza2502]

A host, two people frantically giving useful information, and Thubton at peace. He has a name.

[@robertmelia3780]

Love these guys, and the wonderful book is helping me no end with depression and addiction. Thank you all. ❤️

[@Finne57]

Really good energy with these 3 in conversation all with fantastic and complementary perspectives. Ruby of course is wonderful.

[@josephineprain5135]

GREAT VIDEO, REALLY ENJOYED THE SPONTANEITY AND ZERO BS!

[@club1fan552]

Ruby has written more than "...previous 2 books". What about the brilliant "How do you want me?" Arguably her best. The host should do her research.

[@m80tmm]

The book you mentioned is not to do with the subject matter. The host was correct not to blow her trumpet louder, she does that very well herself.

[@lekshetsultim7766]

It is interesting how "compassion" is put forward as a cure for one's own suffering, which is true, but in regards to "the Buddhist" formula of dependent origination, one starts with Loving Kindness (as it is translated) which is more accurately translated as "friendship". Friendship for ones self and others, is the basis for happiness, and then "compassion" is offered, as an extension of also wishing ones self, and others to be free of all sufferings. Hence "Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional". To whom it may concern.

[@Hassanthehorse]

Thank you very much for clarifying.

@@Hassanthehorse is there a cure medication free for schizophrenia?

[@taylorbyrne570]

Fantastic book !!!!

[@roddo1955]

I got here via a Loose Women clip. Ruby was promoting the book and it had just come out. But this clip is from a year earlier?

Great video thanks...……………………...

What they are missing is the gut brain axis. This is key. Maintained by gut bacteria. Kefir is the key.

[@jeanettelindow3527]

Kefir ♡

Where in the world did this occur?

[@saliexplore3094]

I really found this a fascinating talk, but why do they keep interrupting each other like children would do?

[@figgettit]

ruby keeps redirecting everyone else but she's all over the place. It's like everyone is always her mother.

[@minnietoot9704]

Why arent I a monk? ....Hmmmmm....I wonder

[@agnesm_23]

Is his name just "a monk"?

[@josephmillervideos]

they’re all being so rude to the interviewer
