The Manual for Letting Go
We all have undesired addictions we want to let go of. We try and try, but end up failing again and again. But what if the only reason we are going in endless circles of failure is the method we use to let go? Imagine you have access to an effective manual full of mental and practical exercises, the manual that's gonna help you get rid of your bad habits. Who says we don't have one? Now we do . . .
It's the book that changes the chemical reactions in your brain by reprogramming it. It will cause you to let go of whatever harms you spontaneously, just like taking a course of medicine to let you eventually quit your bad habits effortlessly, and, most importantly, enjoyably. It works very effectively, as this book contains a real story for a specific method with defined exercises and calculated steps. The method has been applied to several people, and it cured them completely.

Thank you to the author for a free Kindle copy of this book, which I won on Goodreads.
I have read so much self-help, psychology, and metaphysics and been steeped in practices for decades. The blurb on this book--promising an easy way to let go of bad habits--intrigued me given my interests, even though I know there is generally no easy fix, nor no one way for everybody.
I found the book rather odd in ways. First, who is the author? A cartoonish picture of a cooking woman shows up for the profile, even though as one reads it, it's apparent the author is a Jordanian male. Why the obscuration for an author?
There were also a number of typos, some glaring.
I try to review each book on its own merits and purpose however, and while some might give this a lower rating for those reasons and some of the simplicity of ideas, I appreciated the earnest desire to be helpful by the author, and the concept of "being colonized" by bad habits (& many political references to parallel, though some of those were too far afield--I wish any COVID-19 pandemic theories had been left out).
The concepts are not entirely new: positive thinking, using feelings and every sense to visualize positive outcomes, imagination, being informed and organized and armed with the right information to make changes. This book was advertised to address any and all addictions--which it could--but a large amount of it is specifically geared towards nicotine addiction.
But it's really a workbook. And I fully admit I did not do the many exercises--the core of the method of healing. It just was not my thing. Reading them over did not inspire confidence that there was anything much different from a hundred things I have tried. The Chapter 7 "swish" exercise seemed vaguely interesting. But overall, pretty standard stuff. The only difference was a sort of approach of looking at the process as if one was looking for hidden information as if doing a CIA type search. Or something. The author lost me here. Didn't relate at all.
He uses many stories, examples, ideas, quotes, references, and does not seem unintelligent. However the book overall seemed a rather primitive, very mental and compartmentalized approach, and also one that did not really translate to helping others even though it helped him. I hope it does though, and am glad he is free of that awful tobacco addiction.

Confusing
This book is supposed to be about healing from addiction. The book, however, includes Hitler, David Icke, the Illuminati, colonization, Malcolm X, and much more. These topics are eventually tied into addiction but not always in a clear way. This fact was the primary reason for my rating. I realize that this approach would work well for some people.
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway.

Might be good for someone else, who is ready to quit smoking. I thought it would help in other areas.
