Most smokers want to quit, but are too terrified of the void they believe awaits them on the other side of the smoke screen to even try. J. F. Hunter integrates his own life experience and vital neuroscientific research in this unique book of daily readings specifically designed to provide reassurance and motivation during those critical first days and weeks after quitting. According to modern neuroscientific findings, it takes 40 days to create new neural pathways and, effectively, rewire the brain. Once we quit smoking, we begin the process of breaking the links and associations that have formed part of our smoking habit for years, sometimes even decades. The purpose of this book is to facilitate this process, and accompany you on the path to becoming a happy, healthy non-smoker. 40 days is all it takes. So go ahead, and give change a chance.
