Annie Grace

Annie Grace is an American author and speaker focused on alcohol use, behavior change, and sobriety. She is best known for This Naked Mind and The Alcohol Experiment, works that popularized a nonjudgmental, mindset-based approach to drinking less or quitting alcohol and built a broad audience through books, coaching, and media.

Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur

Annie Grace’s story begins far from the corporate and publishing worlds she later entered. She grew up outside Aspen, Colorado, in a one-room log cabin without running water or electricity, then went on to earn a Master of Science in marketing. That training led her into corporate life, where she rose quickly: by 26 she was the youngest vice president in a multinational company, and by 35 she held a global C-level marketing role covering 28 countries. Those years, shaped by business travel, client culture, and routine drinking, became the backdrop for the central turning point of her life and work: a sustained effort to understand why alcohol had gained such influence over her daily life.
