Synopsis

'Snortingly funny and entertainingly researched via an impressive suite of scientists' - The Times

Smartphones, ultra-processed food, online shopping, people-pleasing, gambling, dating... most of us can identify a little addiction we don't need to quit but certainly do a little too much of.

In her brand-new book, LITTLE ADDICTIONS, Catherine Gray, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, shows you how to fight back against the insidious drip-feeding of addictive influence, master your micro addictions and unlockmaximum happiness. A little at a time, it might even change your life.

'Bloody loved it.' - Bryony Gordon

'Fascinating and confronting. A book I'll return to and recommend to clients.' - Psychotherapist Joshua Fletcher

'As our world becomes increasingly engineered to create dependency, the old distinction between "addiction" and "bad habit" is collapsing. This book meets that moment with compassion and rigour, giving readers the science and practical tools to take back control.' - Shahroo Izadi, Behavioural change specialist

Goodreads review by Megan on February 04, 2026

Big addictions could be drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, sex. Little addictions could be phone checking cycles (Gmail, Instagram, etc). I love the way this book is set out, it talks about not about quitting your little addictions and that it is more about learning to moderate them after you've identified w......more

I’ve always loved Catherine’s writing style; your eyes fly along the page, you nod your head in agreement and a little smile plays along your lips. A talented journalist and author you know she has put the leg work in, done her research and checked the facts. I don’t have to worry if she has a hidde......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on February 04, 2026

This book really made me reflect on my own little addictions, the small things I do, eat, buy and think about. It breaks down topics chapter by chapter - the big ones like gambling, alcohol and smoking but some of the small compulsions we may not necessarily see as such. The book highlights that add......more

Wow wow wow. As a long time fan of the GOAT Catherine Gray, IMO this is her best book yet. This held up a much needed mirror up for me - I learnt SO much about myself and it really helped me to reframe how I see all of these Little Addictions, and guess what, I have changed patterns without even try......more

Goodreads review by Reader on January 30, 2026

I DEVOURED this book. I’m a huge Catherine Gray fan and she has delivered once again. The time and research that’s gone into this book is evident on every page, but it’s her humour that sets it apart from other books of this genre. I thought I ‘knew it all’ when it came to addiction… I was wrong! Th......more
