The role of the ruach, curiously, can be compared to the use of computer software. There are all types of software, as there are numerous types of spirit.
All humans and all animals possess ruach (Eccl. 3:19 ...all have one breath (ruach)). You can only understand why living beings are the way they are if you grasp the role of the ruach. This is fundamental knowledge for psychology and spirituality.
God breathed neshama-consciousness into Adam's nostrils; this is human awareness of their potential, their sensitivity to what they are; their five psychological characteristics that make them human, and the underlying basis of the mind; making them fundamentally different from animal-kind.
Coupled with the neshama comes the spirit in humans; the role of the ruach is a second spiritual component furnishing power and ability to grow mentally and skillfully; this is the mind-power enabling humans to learn, enact, and progress throughout their lives.
Today, we will venture into the analogy of comparing the mind to computer software; this is risky, and I will lay down my rules for doing this. But first, why use the mind-software metaphor? Because humans have ruach AND animals have ruach. One could erroneously conclude that humans are animals, even if we often act that way. Today, science and psychology do a lot to show how animals have human characteristics and the continuity between the two.
