I’ve got the worst habit of chewing my nails. The rest of what the book says… I just don’t care. I want more information on my habit then ones I don’t know (and shouldn’t know) anything about. Try to find a book that focuses most on your habits (and not just a bunch crammed into one book).

I don’t really like the title much either (The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Breaking Bad Habits).

… I am not an idiot.

I find some people’s comments on this book very bizarre – it’s not supposed to be enjoyable, and if you take offense to being called an idiot…well, you need to lighten up. There’s a whole line of books called the Idiot’s Guides, and I highly doubt that every consumer of those books thinks themselves an idiot. You also have to realize that this book deals with a very sensitive subject, and if you don’t get yourself in the proper mindset, then your habit isn’t going to quit itself on its own. Breaking a bad habit is hard work, and you have to be dedicated to it. You can’t expect that just reading a book will make you quit smoking. Once I really started to synthesize what this book was telling me, I found it much easier to quit my bad habit, than all previous attempts combined. In fact, I had been doing my bad habit for well over 10 years, and I was able to quit it after reading this book.
