Ruby Wax: How to be Human

Date: Sunday, Oct 28 2018
Time: 8:00pm
Venue: Bristol Old Vic
Artists
Ash Ranpura, Gelong Thubten, Ruby Wax

We can’t stop the future from arriving, no matter what drugs we’re on. But even if nearly every part of us becomes robotic, mechanical fingers crossed we’ll still have our minds.

Hopefully we’ll use them for things like compassion, instead of just chasing what’s ‘better’ like a hamster on a wheel. If we can do that, we’re on the yellow brick road to happiness.

With a little help from monk Gelong Thubten, who explains how the mind works, and neuroscientist Ash Ranpura, who explains where everything that makes us ‘us’ can be found in the brain.
