Mind Control

Annie Grace argues that willpower fails because addiction lives in the subconscious, not the conscious mind. Drawing on Shankar Vedantam's research into the hidden brain and psychologist Mahzarin Banaji's work on subconscious biases, she shows how liminal thoughts keep drinkers trapped in false beliefs about alcohol's benefits. From Sharon Pereira's tragic loss of her husband to Amy Winehouse's fatal struggle, the book reveals why dopamine-driven cravings demand mental transformation, not mere abstinence.
