"I gotta say, at first i was a little hesitant. The cover made it look
kind of simple, perhaps too simple. But once I opened it up, I was
thoroughly impressed. This book (really more of a guided journey)has
everything you need packed into one. It's got some factual info, some
advice, humor, workbook and first hand experience from the author. He
gives it to you with a no holds barred approach. Without giving it away,
he takes you on a journey inside your head and even heart and forces
you to accept who you are. This book is a perfect combination of humor,
guidance, passion and purpose. If you've ever wanted to change your life
in regards to smoking, or really any addictive behavior, this book is a
MUST!!!

From Lindsay:
"The genius is in the subtitle, Stop, Don't Quit! Bradley offers a
no-nonsense and even more crucial to our ADD society, an extremely
readable approach to the decision and process of smoking cessation. It
can be read in one sitting, or one chapter at a time over a week or
more. I thought this to myself last night, upon pondering Bradley's
excellent book: "I could quit anything that's not good for me by using
Bradley's techniques." I'm hoping there will be a sequel. Here are
some books I look forward to reading by the same author. "How to Stop
Excessive Eating without Killing anyone." "How to stop excessive
drinking without killing anyone." "How to stop ____ fill in the blank
___ any self-destructive habit____ without killing anyone." Bradley's
blog from yesterday takes a close look at how a habit such as cigarette
smoking represents a loss of self-control. It controls us, rather than
we controlling it. Normally a book such as this would hold no interest
for me (too many books with similar objectives). However, this is a
fresh approach to an ancient dilemma. Included within are treats of
humor and wit. Buy this book!"
From Tina:
I love this book. Mr. Bradley speaks from the heart and doesn't sugar
coat anything. I was not a smoker when I read this but I was seriously
out of shape and needed to change my life. Readers can easily apply the
same logic and replace smoking with anything in their lives they
need/want to change. This book inspired me to make the decision to
change my life and get healthy. Because of this book I was able to
admit the truth about what I saw when I looked in the mirror. In the
book, he talks about smokers being smokers; admitting it and moving on
from there.
If you are looking to change your life and need someone to help you
see things the way they truly are, this book is for you. Maybe someday
he will write different volumes ...How to lose weight, How to stop
drinking etc. Until then, this book can apply to all those areas.
Thanks Mr. Bradley, for the nudge I needed to see things the way they
truly were so I could move on from there!!!"
From David P:
"In this short read (you can manage it in one or two sittings), Bradley
takes you on a thoughtful journey in your quest to stop smoking. Along
the way, he shares many unique, simple, and effective ideas that are
easy to remember and utilize in your own efforts to stop smoking, or
other self-destructive behaviors. He also peppers his prose with little
instances of humor, and the entire narrative is much like a
life-coaching conversation one might be having with an old friend. This
helpful little book is both inspiring and motivational, but never
"preachy", and demonstrates useful tactics for the reader. Several
simple exercises are included throughout his strategy that help guide
one to success, while providing a much broader assessment of one's
personal story and history. I would recommend this quick read to anyone
looking to stop smoking or eliminate other addictions in their life."
