Dr Ruth Searle began her career as a nurse and midwife and, although her love of nursing has remained constant, she went on to fulfil her dream of becoming a marine biologist. She completed her PhD on humpback whale behaviour and is continuing with field research that takes her around the world. Passionate about nature, wildlife and conservation, she writes about the subjects she loves, including marine biology and the humpback whale. Ruth confesses to being hooked on studying: she recently completed a second degree in Earth sciences, cosmology and particle physics, and plans to study philosophy next. Her triumphs and struggles to find and live her own personal dreams provide the inspiration for much of her writing, including The Thinking Persons Guide to Happiness , Coping with Compulsive Eating and Overcoming Shyness and Social Anxiety , all published by Sheldon Press.
