Description
Ruby Wax has spent a lifetime in front of the lens and in the spotlight - loud, vivacious, funny, confident - or so it would seem. Putting up a front to give the illusion that everything was rosy, Ruby speaks in her new book - I'm Not as Well as I Thought I Was - about how it very much wasn't and still isn't.
Beginning the book in the hope that she might find meaning by going on life-changing journeys, she ended up in a mental clinic - not the outcome she had hoped for. The book ended up being the story of what happened after the mental crash and onward.
Ruby admits that she wasn't trying to find meaning, she was trying to find home - a safe place, normality. But trying to stay sane in a completely chaotic world can prove difficult.
An utterly astounding read - powerful, emotional, serious and funny all rolled into one - a little like Ruby herself.
