From what I remember, Easy Way even tells you to keep smoking when you start the book and to stop reading if you don’t feel ready!
FWIW, I also credit that book with me finally quitting the habit.

I was expecting a mix of "here's why it's bad" and "here's the good stuff, and at which milestone dates you'll notice them" maybe.
The stuff I already knew and believed in really strongly.. for 20 minutes until the third 'last' cigarette of the month.
If anyone else is stuck in a holding pattern of quitting it's worth giving it a shot. Promise no affiliation haha, go see if your local bookshop or charity shop has a used copy for 20p (the pages will be a deep yellow, of course)
Is it really just that the Easy Way is a self-referential thing and the Way is itself to think about the Way a lot and in doing so convince yourself or your subconscious that you’ve reached some sort of solution despite having not? Or was there some set of concrete messages I might just have missed?
Is the act of reading the book the thing itself?
