Description
They're addictions so small we don't need to say no.
Most of us can identify a thing - or seven - which we don't need to quit; but certainly do a little too much of.
These little addictions don't cost much emotionally or financially, and they only have micro-consequences on our health, wealth, relationships and home life... so what's the big deal?
The 'snowball effect' is the big deal. The sum total of these tiny habits can be huge.
In this deeply necessary, extensively researched, and wildly empowering book, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober Catherine Gray shows us how to master our little addictions, freeing up peace of mind, disposable income, time, wellbeing and happiness.
In Gray's inimitable and compelling style, this book is guaranteed to make you laugh, pause, reflect, and rearrange everything you thought you knew.
A little at a time, it might even change your life.
