Ruby Wax

Writer, Performer, Mental Health Advocate

Ruby Wax is one of the most distinctive voices in mental health, emotional resilience and human behaviour. A performer with a razor-sharp intellect and a master’s degree in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy from Oxford, Ruby blends science, psychology and comedy to reveal how modern minds can stay resilient under pressure. Her bestselling books; including A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled and And Now for the Good News, have positioned her as a leading commentator on stress, burnout and the neuroscience of happiness.

Her resilience was tested publicly during her stint in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, where she navigated extreme discomfort, fear, uncertainty and social pressure in a high-stakes environment. Ruby now uses that experience to illuminate what mental toughness really looks like: not stoicism, but adaptability, awareness, emotional regulation and the courage to be vulnerable.

Few speakers combine humour, honesty and scientific insight the way she does, turning the chaos of modern life into lessons that teams can use immediately.
