Addiction & therapy; Coping with illness

'Snortingly funny and entertainingly researched via an impressive suite of scientists' - The Times

Smartphones, ultra-processed food, online shopping, people-pleasing, gambling, dating... most of us can identify a little addiction we don't need to quit but certainly do a little too much of.

In her brand-new book, LITTLE ADDICTIONS, Catherine Gray, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, shows you how to fight back against the insidious drip-feeding of addictive influence, master your micro addictions and unlockmaximum happiness. A little at a time, it might even change your life.

'Bloody loved it.' - Bryony Gordon

'Fascinating and confronting. A book I'll return to and recommend to clients.' - Psychotherapist Joshua Fletcher

'As our world becomes increasingly engineered to create dependency, the old distinction between ""addiction"" and ""bad habit"" is collapsing. This book meets that moment with compassion and rigour, giving readers the science and practical tools to take back control.' - Shahroo Izadi, Behavioural change specialist
