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.

About the Author
Annie Grace grew up in a one-room log cabin without running water or electricity outside Aspen, Colorado. After earning a Masters of Science in Marketing, she rose quickly through corporate life, becoming the youngest vice president in a multinational company at just 26. By 35, in a global C-level marketing role spanning 28 countries, she was drinking almost two bottles of wine a night. Unwilling to accept deprivation or stigma, Annie found a painless way to regain control. She no longer drinks, has never been happier, and left her executive career to share This Naked Mind with the world. She lives with her husband and three children in the Colorado mountains.
