Rebel Book Club Manchester x SOBER

Welcome to the RBC Manchester event, where we'll be diving into the theme of Sober, through Anna Donaghey's "What Are You Thirsty For?: Rethinking alcohol and the life you want".

More about "What Are You Thirsty For?"

Anna Donaghey, former advertising exec turned alcohol mindset coach, stopped drinking six years ago when she realised that it was no longer enhancing her life - it was running it. In her book, she invites you to take a clear-eyed look at your relationship with alcohol - not because you have to change, but because you deserve more.

Blending personal experience, coaching insights and stories from her acclaimed podcast The Big Drink Rethink, Anna offers warm, thought-provoking perspectives to help turn alcohol from a habit or default into a conscious, empowered choice.

Why we chose it: “An optimistic, non-judgmental guide to asking the right questions, and finding the right answers." - Clare Pooley, author of The Sober Diaries

Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing your own journeys across countries and continents.

Your host for the evening

Omar is the founder of an AI startup and also pursuing a PhD in Behavioural AI. One big reason Omar joined RBC is to get away from academic literature, gain knowledge in areas outside of his interests and to have engaging conversations with the awesome community.

There is a clear alliance with the philosophy and taste of RBC as Omar has already read 70% of the books from the Rebel Book Club library!
