Almost 2 years ago I saw a comment on HN from a guy who quit smoking after reading Alan Carr's "The Easy Way". As a person who was heavily addicted, often smoking more than a pack a day, struggling to quit for good, I decided to read the book. It did wonders - for almost 2 years I haven't smoked and I don't miss it. It also helped friends to whom I recommended the book. I wanted to drop a comment here in case I can inspire others to give it a try.

A friend of mine who I was hounding for years to quit got this book six months ago and quit. Then he gave it to his dad and he quit. I was fortunate enough to quit six years ago but it sounds like this book is really transformative. I haven’t read it myself, only seen these effects.
This intrigues me. I'm not addicted to smoking but am going to check the book out because I'm sure I'll pick up self-discipline tricks from it.
