This Naked Mind: Nicotine

The Science-Based Method to Reclaim Your Health and Take Control Easily

By: Annie Grace, William Porter

Narrated by: William Porter

A breakthrough solution from the author of This Naked Mind and the author of Alcohol Explained, to shift your mindset and help you quit smoking and vaping for good.

Tobacco is bad for us; that’s a given. But even though you may know the negative health effects, nicotine’s hold is strong, subconscious, and emotional: It tastes good, it’s a companion when you’re alone, and it can be a shield against stress. What if none of these things were true, though? What if nicotine actually tasted bad and didn’t make you less lonely? What if it didn’t relax you? It may seem hard to believe, and it’s okay to be skeptical, but coming to a new mindset about smoking and vaping is the key to quitting.

In This Naked Mind: Nicotine, Annie Grace and William Porter combine their trusted approaches to overcoming problem drinking—science-backed, habit-breaking systems that have worked for thousands—to vanquish tobacco addiction. Grace and Porter uncover the subconscious beliefs about smoking and vaping that keep us addicted to it despite its well-known costs. With thought-provoking questions and exercises that will spark clarity, this essential book will help you jump-start your no-smoking journey easily and heal your brain and body.

Must read.

No matter how good your are at anything. Mechanic, baker, carpenter, doctor, etc.., you need the right tools. This is the tool you need to quit.

Really helpful.

Finally taking a shot at quitting after finishing this book. Really helpful: way to handle cravings means understanding each stage. Will post an update in a few months!

Essential Read

I’ve read William Porter’s book previously on nicotine and while this was a collaboration this book has a very similar approach. First off dispelling the myth and BS around what really at its core is addiction, plain and simple then providing immediately actionable tools and ways to address this issue right here and now. This is an essential read for anyone from the ‘weekend’ smoker to someone who is firmly rooted in nicotine addiction whether smoking, vaping or chewing. Highly recommended. I have already given out 3 of this book to others. Read, listen then share!

Practical, on point, good supplemental tool

Short chapters help really digest the material. Needs more in depth content regarding the navigation of actually quitting. It’s not enough on its own. Disappointed it seemed to end abruptly earlier than expected in the process. Smokers get frustrated and stuck in their own negative feedback loop because everyone struggles the same way with cravings; yet this book didn’t seem to really address that aspect in the depth I was expecting; which is the one we need the most help with!
It was excellent up until that point!

Listen to this if you really want to QUIT!

I listened to This Naked Mind to help me quit drinking and was blown away!
I listened to this to stop VAPING, and was blown away again!
