Ruby Wax on Mindfulness 

This woman is an absolute godsend. She makes so much sense to me.

Ruby is just wonderful and so brave. It can't be easy to stand up and talk about something that affects your own life, but its wonderful that she does this, and makes it sound interesting and amusing at the same time.

Ruby Wax, a truly beautiful person ... inside and out. I really admire and respect this wonderful woman. I'm in awe ❤

When you learn to be mindful the first question that comes to mind is: WHY the heck did we not learn this in school as the most IMPORTANT subject of our life ? The world would be much more peaceful than it is today if we did.

I love the look on the faces of some in the audience when Ruby Wax described her driving habits (11:57). Lighten up, people.

This was just fantastic. I was in the front row. Ruby is phenomenal. Her books are a masterpiece and I highly recommend seeing her on tour.

Finally someone that actually explained “Mindfulness”

Ruby has a way of making complex ideas sound so simple. Such a great speaker

Ruby is one smart lady! She makes me happy!

I love this woman. I love that she was in Ab Fab. God I love her!!!!!!! And her Madonna interview was fabulous.

This is so awesome! It makes so much sense to me now. Achieving this goal may be difficult, but I have to begin this journey. Thank-you for posting this. I finally feel hope.

Absolutely loved Ruby's neurolanguage!! My neurotransmitters are presenting a standing ovation!! :)

I saw Ruby Wax live at a private function. Laughed my socks off. Now, I admire her, she made total sense.

Ruby honey, you always make me laugh so much. Thank you for opening up this topic to the world. Bless you xx

Loved this talk - perfect mix and humour and science. Survival of the wiset and hopefully kindest.

This was INCREDIBLY enjoyable - a nice dose of dark humour around an extremely important topic.

I love her self deprecating humor and crazy eyes!

Thank you Ruby, I'm currently going through some stuff now 2016 & listening to you has helped me understand my mindfulness . Thank you

She is brilliant! Rumination and Mindfulness..

what a wonderfull honest vibe you have !

Why School of Life doesn't upload any more long talks like this? The short videos are great but it's good to have long talks with guests and with Alain too :)

I like Ruby, she is great at delivering talks and make boring topics so interesting and funny. I hope she goes back on TV.

I love this. I had to watch this for my english 101 class, so happy that she made us watch this. :)

This is Fantastic! I remember in the 90s when Ruby used to do Louis Theroux style journalism and I'd be amazed how she could experience such extremes and still be herself. Maybe it effect her afterall

One of the best people ever

What a gem of a woman just so well worth watching

She is so brilliant. Sending love, admiration and gratitude. Shared on Facebook.

It's interesting that she says how we can't attend to our senses and be in a stte of stress at the same time. I guess that's why I sometimes found chilli to be helpful for my OCD. Having it really hot just seemed to blast through the psychic debry like plasma. I finally found temporary relief from my obessesive thoughts and the mental pain subsided. The hard part though is finding a sensory stimuli that can over power the default mod network. Sometimes it feels like pushing a boulder up hill.

I SO love this lady. God bless her. Ruby, you are my hero.

This is a LIFE CHANGER talk/lecture, at least for myself. RU-vid or internet has a lot on mindfulness but this talk IS REALLY USEFUL. I request humans to listen to this with geat expectation, hopefully this will truly help.

This hits the nail on the head for me. Stripped back in an archaic way,but she’s on point for everyday life. Who,what,why,when...a thousand thoughts a second! *LOVE

first time after a long time watching mindfulness talks, finally I understand what it means and how it works. I love the way she talks.

Fantastic talk. Ruby is a wonderful advocate for mindfulness

brilliant work rudy you have help me so much

Thank you Ruby for your honesty.

Brilliant, both insightful and funny, this is one of the very best videos I've seen on this topic, love you Ruby!

Thanks for the video, and all your work!

Great speech Ruby , Ruby is and always has Been Awesome x

Wise and wonderful. Thank you Ruby!

10/10 I loved it above and beyond. Stayed up much too late to watch this to the end. Thank you for this, made me wiser

Didn't know about this side of Ruby, very impressive nerd cred. We used to call the behaviour she is advocating "introspection", neuroscience is rapidly building up the details of how and why it works so well. Fortunately I was born a serotonin addict, when she asked the audience to listen for 10 seconds, I closed my eyes and my mind went blank, another 10 and I would have nodded off. :)

Amazing talk, I absolutely love Ruby

what a great woman!!! I am impressed

Amazing! Thank you for sharing this!

Brilliant...Have loved her for years, but this is really great stuff!

2019, first I've seen this. New depths to Ruby Wax who started out as a pushy C-lister. What a great lecture! And so likeable! I play the guitar, started when The Beatles happened. That's mindfulness but you never stop learning. Great to know that you can change your mind, ain't it? Really good lecture.

Thank you - I really needed this.

omg u just saved my life

Ruby changed my entire concept of mental illness And how I choose to deal with it, understanding the science helps me be objective about emotions and decide to stop them graduating as oppose to his submitting to them xx

This is fantastic!!...Should have more coverage, especially in School(s)....

i am happy i found this... better late than never

You are GREAT Ruby!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Such a great lecture, thank you for posting this.

Amazing and very enlightening.

Thank you ruby.

You have to laugh. It's really so important to laugh because that little moment of peace that comes with it makes us think that maybe, just maybe I can do this. I can go on.

Awesome. That felt like the quickest half hour ever. Really really interesting.

phenomenal !

Thank you Ruby

Great advice. Thanks for uploading

Brilliant!

It's a pleasure listen to her

Thank you.

Thanks Ruby that helped

Great job Ruby!

Ruby wax has made neuroscience, the mind & mindfulness much more accessible & so funny:) Indeed neuroplasticity means can change the neural pathways and neurons so learn things, try new things and change how you are and think can break patterns. I am on a similar journey and also interested in attachment, emotions & psychology having studied yoga for the mind.info. I am very interested in making more accessible to parents and kids so next generations can be more compassionate and understanding. Indeed as Ruby says cut down on what media etc you watch and see. Practice mindfulness, t'ai chi, yoga, swimming anything for present mind connection and the mind boy connection. I'm working on it all. work in progress WIP:)

I don't get why this isn't trending

Great video, hilarious too.

i really like this woman, this was so interesting and entertaining to listen to

Incredible!!! Really needed this! ❤

Yes love her!!!!!!

Really fantastic x

I just love her

Ruby Wax is my hero

Brilliant.

Welldone Ruby.

Great talk.

Anyone who finds this interesting might want to check out Eckhart Tolle. He teaches a near identical philosophy.

You're the best!

ruby is a treasure!

A GODSEND

Amazing.

We weren't taught in school about some of the most important things in life. But we were taught how to calculate the trajectory of a cannon ball. They thought that's what really mattered.

She is absolutely wonderful. I'm in love ♡♡♡♡

Fantastic

Very good!

That was really good..
