About

Sean Alexander.

Author, qualified counsellor and strength & conditioning coach. I write about the things that help people change their lives in the real world.

I first became known for writing the Sober On A Drunk Planet series: books about alcohol, addiction, mindset and what happens when you stop escaping from life and start building one you actually want to live.

The series has now sold more than 135,000 copies worldwide, but sobriety is part of my story rather than the boundary around everything I write.

My newer work is broader. I'm interested in fear, identity, health, ambition, behaviour, starting things, stopping things, and the ridiculous amount of time human beings can spend thinking about doing something before finally doing it.

When I'm not writing, I'm usually playing golf, training, reading, or finding another perfectly sensible reason not to open social media.

If you're here because of the sobriety books, they still have their own home at Sober On A Drunk Planet. If you're here for whatever comes next, you're in the right place.

At home

Life away from the desk.

At home, much of the supervision is handled by Twiglet and Luna, two Siberian cats who have yet to show much respect for deadlines.
