About The Author

Previously a "no off-switch drinker," Laura Willoughby found it hard to give up drinking with no organization or guidance to support her--she considered existing programs too extreme. So she set up Club Soda. A campaigner and "movement maker," her mission is to create a world where no one feels out of place if they don't drink. The techniques and tools in the book have been developed by her business partner Jussi Tolvi, a moderate-drinking Finn and behavioral change specialist, and health coach Dru Jaeger.
