Charles Knowles: Why We Drink Too Much, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The revolutionary book that will change how you think about drinking forever.

'Illuminating and beautifully written.' - Clare Pooley, bestselling author of The Sober Diaries

If you are a rational person in all other areas of your life but often find that one glass of wine turns into a bottle, you need to hear this: Your struggle with alcohol does not result from moral weakness or lack of willpower. It is biology.

In Why We Drink Too Much, leading surgeon and recovering alcoholic Dr. Charles Knowles explains:

• **The Biology of Addiction:**Why some of us are genetically primed to feel a higher sense of reward from every sip.
• **The Drinking Scales:**Why our logical reasoning is so easily overridden by alcohol.
• **A Blueprint for Change:**A science-backed framework for anyone rethinking their drinking and ready for sobriety.

Laying bare his own personal journey, Dr Knowles weaves a raw, honest memoir with world-class scientific insight into the brain, genetics, and the powerful pull of our favourite drug. Whether you are 'sober curious,' a 'grey area' drinker, or simply seeking to understand the hidden forces that drive us to drink too much, this book offers a compassionate and hopeful path forward.
