Book Synopsis
Based on interviews with individuals who abstain from habits as diverse as sex, cigarettes, sugar, and technology, this book identifies four different types of abstainers: quitters; those who have never done something and never will; those who haven't done something yet, but might in the future; and those who are not doing something temporarily.

Trade Review
"Everyone is NOT Doing it offers an enjoyable meditation on the nature of abstinence - what it is, what it means, and what it signifies. Here, Jamie Mullaney gets a variety of people to talk candidly about all types of abstinence, how and why they do it, and its placement in their lives. As a result, she makes us aware of commonalities we all share with a wide and diverse set of abstainers." - Daniel F. Chambliss, Hamilton College"
