“I found [The Craving Mind] to be one of the best things I’ve read . . . on addiction.”—Ezra Klein,New York Times.
“Accessible and enjoyable.The Craving Mindbrilliantly combines the latest science with universal real-life experiences—from falling in love to spending too much time with our phones.”—Arianna Huffington
We are all vulnerable to addiction. Whether it’s a compulsion to constantly check social media, binge eating, smoking, excessive drinking, or any other behaviors, we may find ourselves uncontrollably repeating. Why are bad habits so hard to overcome? Is there a key to conquering the cravings we know are unhealthy for us?
This book provides groundbreaking answers to the most important questions about addiction. Dr. Judson Brewer, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has studied the science of addictions for twenty years, reveals how we can tap into the very processes that encourage addictive behaviors in order to step out of them. He describes the mechanisms of habit and addiction formation, then explains how the practice of mindfulness can interrupt these habits. Weaving together patient stories, his own experience with mindfulness practice, and current scientific findings from his own lab and others, Dr. Brewer offers a path for moving beyond our cravings, reducing stress, and ultimately living a fuller life.

at
a

treatment
option.”—Robert

“Accessible

"This
masterful,
personal,
friendly,
compelling,
humorous,
and
erudite
book
offers
us
a
radically
new
perspective
on
learning,
on
breaking
habits
of
mind
not
by
force
or
through
the
application
of
will
power
or
the
desire
for
a
reward,
but
by
truly
inhabiting
the
domain
of
being."—Jon
Kabat-Zinn,
from
the
Foreword
"Entertaining
and
profound,
Judson
Brewer’s
book
brings
our
everyday
addictions
into
clear
view,
helping
us
see
how
we
get
caught
up
in
our
habits,
and
giving
us
simple,
grounded
steps
that
we
can
take
to
overcome
them.
Wisdom
infuses
his
research
as
he
offers
us
a
path
of
exploration
to
better
our
lives."—Jewel,
Grammy-nominated
singer,
songwriter,
and
author
"The
core
perception
that
'something
is
missing'
drives
us
to
addiction
and
deprives
us
of
the
chance
to
live
fully.
By
bringing
together
cutting-edge
Western
science,
the
radical
insights
of
Buddhist
psychology,
and
mindfulness
practices,
Judson
Brewer
offers
a
direct
pathway
to
freeing
our
minds
from
the
domination
of
craving."—Tara
Brach,
author
of Radical
Acceptance and True
Refuge
"The
Craving
Mindis
a
remarkable
book,
one
that
will
help
free
us
from
the
powerful
habits
of
craving
and
addiction.
Brewer
lays
out
a
practical
and
empirically
based
pathway
to
greater
freedom
and
ease
in
our
lives.
For

book
will
be
life-transforming."—Joseph
