Rebel Book Club Sydney x SOBER

Welcome to the RBC Sydney 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

Inspired by our monthly non-fiction reads, our mix of part cocktail party, part creative classroom is a recipe that builds your reading habit while connecting with like minded people.

Your hosts for the evening

Sruthi Ravi

Sruthi spent a lot of time trying to find the right book club before RBC came along. She loves watching cricket, curling up with a good book, and to travel the world.

Dreamer, bookworm and feminist, Sruthi loves to meet new people, and learn more about the world we live in.

Most impactful RBC moment: "The most impactful book have been the ones that have challenged me to look at how I live my life. These books empowered me to make changes to my sleep habits, and change my actions as a consumer, as a friend/partner and as a member of society."

Emma Noller

Emma is a neuro-spicy, chaotic good character who has been teaching for the past 8 years. A former London RBC member, she is so excited to be a part of bringing this amazing experience to Sydney. She can’t wait to reconnect with the amazing people and opportunities that RBC is known for.

She loves travel, connecting with people and thinks that learning is a life-long journey. Why not do it in the most creative ways you can!

Most impactful RBC moment: "Discussing Lost Connections with a psychologist who changed our point of view. She did this by disagreeing with what the author was saying about reliance on medication. It was a lens I hadn’t looked through reading the book; this actually started my journey on learning more about my ADHD, how my brain can work for me and finding the support networks I needed to be the most efficient and creative I could be."
