Can “easy way” be applied to other stuff?
A lot of actions that improve life a lot - doing 20 push ups a day, flossing teeth, sending thank you letters to friends, calling people take very little time and effort but are not happening.
So, somehow they must take more “effort” than we think. On interesting case
Allen Carr’s “Easy Way” is interesting, since a) works for me, b) is cost and time effective and c) works with the patients mind in understanding the consequences of behaviour and does not outsource things to a higher authority or alike.
How the Easy Way works
Clarifying the largest part of the addiction is mental, not physical
Replacing the perception that it is difficult to quit by the mental pattern hat keeping smoking is more difficult than not smoking. Apart from the addiction, which as per (1) as been clarified to be mostly mental.
That's already it
Probably this is not very intuitive to non-smokers. But the benefits of smoking are also not very intuitive for non-smokers - which is the frame of mind the Easy Way tries to achieve.
Can one apply this method to other things? Or rather, what should this be applied to?
Arguably, communication? I am guessing that communication between humans is the most important thing given that human relationships are most important for happiness and there is only action and communication between humans. This would require though a definition of “good communication”, not sure that exists.
