This Naked Mind

Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness, and Change Your Life

By: Annie Grace

Narrated by: Annie Grace

A groundbreaking and inspiring book that challenges our relationship with alcohol by exploring the psychological factors behind alcohol use and the cultural influences that contribute to dependency.

Many people question whether drinking has become too big a part of their lives, and worry that it may even be affecting their health. But, they resist change because they fear losing the pleasure and stress-relief associated with alcohol, and assume giving it up will involve deprivation and misery.

This Naked Mind offers a new, positive solution. Here, Annie Grace clearly presents the psychological and neurological components of alcohol use based on the latest science, and reveals the cultural, social, and industry factors that support alcohol dependence in all of us. Packed with surprising insight into the reasons we drink and Annie’s own extraordinary and candid personal story, This Naked Mind will open your eyes to the startling role of alcohol in our culture, and how the stigma of alcoholism and recovery keeps people from getting the help they need.

This Naked Mind will give you freedom from alcohol. It removes the psychological dependence so that you will not crave alcohol, allowing you to easily drink less (or stop drinking). With clarity, humor, and a unique blend of science and storytelling, This Naked Mind will open the door to the life you have been waiting for.

Had a total “AH-HA” moment. 🤔

I can’t begin to tell you how this book has changed my life! My thinking about alcohol has completely changed so much so that I no longer have a desire to “chase the dragon”. Once you truly understand what alcohol is and how, although worse than many other drugs, is marketed to our society you will begins to DESPISE it. Then when you find out what alcohol is made of and how it affects your brain you will wonder how you could ever have a drink again. BUT when you are made aware of the fact that you are not funnier or cuter when drinking and that the glass of wine you reach for to “relax” and be “happy” actually does the exact opposite you will NEVER want another drink again. This book proved undoubtedly that you do NOT need alcohol to have a good time or to be social.
Annie is so precise in detailing all of these facts and more in a guilt free, no judgement zone. She also delves into how our brain works and precisely delivers steps to form new paths in our brain that painlessly help to kick the alcohol habit once and for all and for good.

I also love the on line groups & support system,the Facebook page and especially the 30 day Challenge. Thanks Annie for helping me to be FREE OF ALCOHOL!!!👍🏻👏🏼🙌🏻 #AF

Incredibly Eye Opening & Unlike Any Other

For anyone who is worried that they may be drinking too much, or desires to cut back but has struggled with it, this may quite honestly be the most helpful book you could ever possibly pick up. The information here is extremely eye opening, and I truly believe EVERYONE should hear this, even people who haven't started drinking yet. While the content would surely still be helpful to the typically thought of extreme version of an alcoholic (picture the broken down human with liver failure, can't keep a job, drinks all day, etc), this book is not really tailored to that audience. This book presents facts and psychology related to alcohol that I truly wish all people were made aware of before they started drinking, but I think it resonates most with people who aren't totally comfortable with being labeled an alcoholic or don't want to accept that they are any weaker or different from all their friends. Any google search could easily inform you of all the harms of drinking, but this book brings to light so much more in terms of social influences, advertising, psychology, and WHY we actually crave alcohol, and how we can remove the desire altogether. This Naked Minds method requires no religion or life long support meetings, no constant struggle everyday using sheer will power to resist drinking, no needing to admit we are weak or have an incurable disease, and no more constant shame cycles from abstaining and relapsing. After 5+ years of failed attempts to cut back on drinking, this book has brought me pure FREEDOM. Annie's words have truly saved and transformed my life

''LIFE CHANGING''

as a young man this naked mind powerfully exposed the dangers of drinking alcohol for me in my life and has forever transformed my thinking towards it. I've seldom found a book that's rivaled hers on the topic

This book changed my life

I have always known that alcohol wasn't good for me. And I have heard that more than 1 glass a night/ 7 glasses a week was considered unhealthy for women. I thought that if I wanted to, I could cut back-- even though attempts at Dry January and giving it up for Lent always were failures. I never thought my drinking was a problem because I wasn't missing work or getting into trouble. I read this book and have not desired to have a drink in almost 2 months. No willpower needed. Just a systematic analysis of my cognitive dissonance and the understanding that alcohol has no place in my life. I know that if I wanted to, I could have a drink. But honestly, I don't want to. It's amazing.

Saved my life!

Best book I've read in years. Amazing! spontaneous sobriety. Easy to read with great information.
