What Readers Are Saying

The most selfless and amazing book I have ever read. Thank you Annie Grace for your wisdom, intelligence, sense of humor and love. I do believe you have saved my life. Today my youngest child got her final exam results and the next phase of her life begins. She will not be alone. Thank you Annie Grace for this gift. Bernie M., Dublin, Ireland

What an amazing book! This Naked Mind has been an eye-opener for me. I thought I could consciously decide to give up alcohol, and now I understand the necessity of informing the subconscious mind of the evils of drinking and then the cravings just disappear! I have also read and applied the work of Dr. John Sarno and knew the power of the subconscious mind but cannot believe how effective the book and method was for me. Thank you! Theresa G., Chapel Hill, North Carolina

I loved this gentle, down-to-earth explanation of problems with alcohol use, and the clear, structured way to challenge your thinking and behaviors around drinking. It helped me pass from shame and guilt into real and positive action. Elizabeth R., Australia

Without sounding too extreme, this book has significantlyand I think permanentlychanged me and my attitude toward drinking. I have used Annies wisdom and done some things alcohol-free that I would never have thought I could do. I cant say enough good about it and advise those who are ambivalent about drinking and not drinking to read it. Thanks again, Annie Grace, youve given me my life back, seriously. Katy F., Albuquerque, New Mexico

As a huge fan of Jason Vale, I was really interested to read This Naked Mind . It was so interesting to read more about the science behind addiction and the unconscious mind. It added a new level to my understanding of why I want to live a sober and happy life! I highly recommend this book to anyone, whether they are interested in cutting down or staying alcohol-free, there are so many practical tips and suggestions. I loved it! Sarah L., London

Genuinely hopeful and realistic philosophy and practice. Thanks Annie Grace. Louise P., Des Moines, Iowa

This Naked Mind brought clarity and focus on my drinking and 10-year struggle with sobriety that I had never paused to examine. Annie methodically brings the reader along a logical path of discovery. I felt she was speaking directly to me and that she knows exactly where I am mentally and physically. I continue to return to certain passages for reaffirmation. I highly recommend the excellent book to anyone seeking a refreshing approach to seeing alcohol in the full light of the day with eyes wide open. Sam G., Sydney, Australia

This Naked Mind delves into the psychology and physiology behind addiction and addresses these exceedingly well with thoughtfully structured chapters and memorable analogies. You will realize how alcohol truly has no place in your life and the myths we use to justify its consumption. Really, really cannot recommend this neat little book enough. Cheryl W., Melbourne, Australia

Reading This Naked Mind has been nothing short of a miracle. It has helped me to see alcohol for what it is and ended a 25-year cycle of binge drinking and trying to stop or moderate alcohol. I have not had a single craving since reading it, which is unheard of for me. Im totally comfortable in situations where other people are drinking, and I dont feel the need to avoid temptation, because there isnt any! I feel happier, Im regaining confidence and my health is getting better every day. A must read for anyone who wants to take control of their drinking but doesnt want a lifetime of struggle. Kay W., The Lake District, United Kingdom

Annies book offers readers a unique and refreshing perspective on our relationship with alcohol and how that relationship can be changed. It exposes the false notion that alcohol is an essential feature of an interesting and happy life. The real gem in Annies book is the idea that changing your relationship with alcohol need not be a life of endless suffering and deprivation, that a decision to change can in fact be quite simple and liberating. This book forces us to confront societys relationship with alcohol and will change lives. Tony S., Sydney, Australia

I never realized how powerless I was against alcohol until I got my power back. A moderate to heavy drinker in my twenties, I desired to drink less as I got older. To my surprise, the desire was not enough, and I struggled to stay in control of my cravings. After reading This Naked Mind I feel, for the first time in my life, an extraordinary sense of freedom and happiness about my relationship with alcohol. I am eternally grateful to Annie Grace for this amazing gift! Mary P., Brooklyn, New York

This is an honest book. It is genuine. It is told in a simple manner that is cogent and memorable. It helped me, and I will likely read it again sometime. Thank you Annie Grace. Steve G., Toronto, Ontario

It was unfathomable to consider moderating my alcohol intake that has been a daily habit for the last 28 years. Unfathomable, that is, until I read Annies book. In one week, I went from entrenched regular drinker to fully and happily alcohol-freebypassing the moderation route entirely. I am so grateful to Annie Grace for her frank, compelling, and scientifically sound expos on the insidious nature of alcohol. If youre considering freeing the hold that alcohol has over you, this is an inspiring and groundbreaking must-read. I am forever inspired and changed. Kate S., Los Angeles, California

There is nothing but truth in your words. This Naked Mind is an awesome book that has filled my life with hope for the future. Jacob K., Springvale, Minnesota

Awesome book. Ive come to terms and its time to end this destructive ride, but it came home this weekendliterally. While I digested your excellent book, my one and only child announced a weekend visit. This alcohol sickness slapped me senseless as I immediately felt panic at the idea of interrupting my drinking path. This book made me open my eyes, my heart and my soul to the grip this monster had on me when I was weighing my ability to drink vs. the few precious visits where I get to see my son who is my reason for living. Thank you, Annie. Simple words, but I am not able to express otherwise. Your words are a worthy sword, just the elixir I needed. Humbly yours. Victor L., Austin, Texas

Your voice in the book is clear as a bell and brings amazing clarity to the situation of drinking and drinkers and addiction, and the circularity of the substance itself causing the discomfort that we think the imbibing fixes. Skeptic that I am, your little book holds a big universe of hope. Heidi M., Plymouth, Massachusetts

This Naked Mind has allowed me to view my drinking habits from a new perspective. Now I know the science behind my addictive tendencies, sobriety has become less of a struggle and more of a celebration because I am finally free to live life on my own terms rather than under the control of alcohol. The message in This Naked Mind is truly liberating. Marcus J., London, United Kingdom

As a wife, parent and counselor, I was increasingly distressed by my pattern of daily drinking and increasing dependence on alcohol. However, This Naked Mind gave me the critical insights into my own mind that I needed in order to overcome my problems. Now I have my energy, vitality and health back. I highly recommend This Naked Mind for anyone concerned about their drinking. Rhiana N., Sydney, Australia

I stumbled upon This Naked Mind after another heavy relapse into alcohol misery, 4 weeks of non-stop boozing leading me near suicide. I have been a heavy drinker since eighteen and a severe alcoholic for the past 10 years. With the one shred of myself left within me, I risked Delirium Tremens and instead of going to another detox facility (which never worked for me) or submitting to another higher power A.A. meeting (which also led to nothing), I came across a new, groundbreaking approach called This Naked Mind . I was 3 days into my severe withdrawals when I placed those headphones on and began listening to the audio version of Annies book. I felt an instant connection with the words and experiences that Annie had gone through. Through the next 3 days and nights I furiously listened to the program, her words, backed by fact, and found myself coming to the realization that alcohol is poison, and all I needed was for this to be explained to me with facts and an understanding and compassionate heart. As of today, I still havent had a drink, and I can only highly recommend this program to anyone who has a serious problem with alcohol. It just works. Wilder D., Melbourne, Australia
