Overview
This Catherine Gray 3 Books Collection Set brings together her bestselling memoirs on sobriety, plus their journalling companion, in one uplifting paperback bundle. Written by an award-winning journalist whose own journey away from heavy drinking and into confident single life has resonated with readers, this set blends honest storytelling, research and practical exercises. It's an ideal gift for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol, navigating a fresh single chapter, or wanting a warm, witty guide to reclaiming joy on their own terms.
About the Books
The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober is Catherine Gray's frank, funny account of quitting drinking, weaving neuroscience and psychology with lived experience to explain why we drink and what changes when we stop, becoming a touchstone for the "sober curious" movement. The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober Journal is the practical companion many readers asked for: a guided journal of prompts, trackers and reflective exercises for the early weeks and months of an alcohol-free life, whether used as a 30-day programme or an ongoing diary. The Unexpected Joy of Being Single turns Gray's warm, evidence-based lens onto modern single life, unpicking the myths that we need a partner to be complete and celebrating the freedom that comes from flying solo. Together, the three books form a joined-up journey — understand the change, work through it on paper, then apply that confident mindset to relationships and independence. Each stands alone but they're best read together, and this bundle is a convenient way to own the full set, for yourself or as a gift.
- Two acclaimed memoirs plus a guided journal in one convenient paperback set.
- Evidence-led writing drawing on neuroscience, psychology and Gray's own research.
- Practical, usable tools — the journal offers real prompts and exercises, not just theory.
- Warm, witty, non-judgemental voice that makes sensitive subjects easy to sit with.
- Thoughtful gifting option for anyone cutting down on drinking, embracing single life, or restarting after a big change.
- Great for book clubs and wellbeing groups looking for shared, discussion-friendly reading.
