“I found [The Craving Mind] to be one of the best things I’ve read
. . . on addiction.”—Ezra Klein, New York Times
“It has a lot of practical advice, combining mindfulness training
with patient testimonies and clinical practice. . . . [A] great
book everyone should read.”—Irvine Welsh, Metro
“Accessible and enjoyable. The Craving Mind brilliantly combines
the latest science with universal real-life experiences—from
falling in love to spending too much time with our phones.”—Arianna
Huffington
“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 Mind is 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 many readers, this book will be
life-transforming.”—Joseph Goldstein, author of Mindfulness: A
Practical Guide to Awakening
“As Co-Chair of the Congressional Addiction, Treatment, and
Recovery Caucus, I’ve seen first hand the need for action on
addiction and substance abuse. I am thrilled that Judson Brewer has
taken his extensive research on mindfulness and outlined its
benefits for those battling this terrible disease. This book
couldn’t come at a time of greater need.”—U.S. Representative Tim
Ryan, Ohio, author of A Mindful Nation
“Judson Brewer’s revolutionary approach challenges all of us to
look again and really see what gets us stuck in self-destructive
habits, and how we can, at last, free ourselves from them.”—Mark
Williams, University of Oxford
