Frank Soberman is an author and publisher based in Hamburg. He studied law and philosophy and works in publishing, photography and digital media. His background also includes journalism and almost two decades as a taxi driver and limousine service owner – experiences shaped by observation, conversations and encounters with people from very different walks of life.

His interest in the subject of alcohol is deeply personal. Over many years, personal reflection, observation, conversations and research developed into Sober Better – a broader project about understanding alcohol, questioning habits and finding practical ways to change them.

The Progressbook is the practical companion to this approach. While the Roadbook provides ideas, background and context, the Progressbook focuses on the reader: recording experiences, observing patterns, setting goals and making change visible over time.

Both books share a simple idea:
Understanding change is important. Experiencing and documenting it makes it your own.
