This Naked Mind is Annie Grace's myth-busting guide for anyone who has ever questioned their relationship with alcohol. Rather than scare tactics or willpower, Grace blends neuroscience, cultural analysis and her own candid personal journey to show readers how to change their drinking habits painlessly and permanently. It has become a word-of-mouth phenomenon and a genuine turning point for millions of readers seeking real, lasting freedom from alcohol.. About the Book. Millions of people quietly worry that drinking has become too big a part of their lives, and that it might even be harming their health — yet they resist change, fearing that cutting back will mean deprivation, boredom or the stigma so often attached to alcoholism and recovery. This Naked Mind offers a refreshingly different, positive solution. Annie Grace clearly presents the psychological and neurological mechanisms behind alcohol use, drawing on the latest science, while unpicking the cultural, social and industry forces that quietly support alcohol dependence across society. Packed with unexpected insight into why we really drink, the book opens readers' eyes to the outsized role alcohol plays in modern culture, and how shame so often prevents people from seeking the help they need. Woven throughout is Grace's own extraordinarily honest personal story — from young marketing executive drinking almost two bottles of wine a night, to a woman who found a way out without deprivation or rock-bottom rehab. Without scare tactics or rigid rules, the book addresses the root causes of drinking rather than the symptoms, aiming for a permanent shift in mindset. It is widely read alongside Grace's follow-up program, The Alcohol Experiment, and has become a touchstone recommendation for anyone questioning their drinking.. Written by a former corporate marketing executive with first-hand experience of problem drinking. Combine
