Chapter 1-3 
I must say this book is captivating and so relatable. Having read βYour Brain on β β β β β book earlier, this seems like a continuation of the demistyfication of this monster. I can say without any doubt that it was until I started reading books that I noted how messed up I was/Iβm (still battling the urges) just like Hackauthor has highlighted.
This 3 chapters brings up the essence of why you need to read Easy Peasy. I wanna point out some key things ive picked up so far:
- It is the fear thatβs preventing us from cutting ties with this habit , no, its an addiction not an habit
. - Get to gauge how messed up you are and then quit slowly (but for someone like me who has been quitting and relapsing after long streaks of even 180+days, there is no turning back)
- Zero advantages from β β β β bro ! why is it hard for us to quit then ! misery, we have fried our brains.
- This thing is a trap, such that you can stop, or at least pause, after an incident has happened, rings PE/ED, depression right?
He wraps up by pointing on two main contributors of β β β β addiction : internet β β β β and societal brainwashing.
Lets continue reading and bringing up our opinions and experience guys. Iβd like to know whats working/not working for you.

chapter 4
β Coolidge effect
β Itβs essential to understand that youβre giving up absolutely nothing whatsoever
β β β β β doesnβt cure withdrawal symptoms, it causes them
β β β β β isnβt habit, itβs drug addiction
β The human body is the most sophisticated object on the planet, but no species, even the lowest amoeba or worm, survives without knowing the difference between food and poison
β Users will automatically refrain from using internet β β β β in their parentsβ home during family gatherings and other events with little discomfort. In fact, most users have extended periods during which they abstain without effort. The neurological little monster is easy to cope with even when youβre still addicted. There are millions of users who remain casual users all their lives and theyβre just as addicted as the heavy user. There are even heavy users whoβve kicked the addiction but have an occasional peek, greasing the water slide to be ridden down at the next dip in mood
β It may be of consolation to lifelong and heavy users that itβs just as easy for them to stop as casual users, and in a peculiar way itβs easier. The further it drags you down, the greater the relief. When I stopped I went straight to zero and didnβt have one bad pang. In fact, the process was actually enjoyable even during the withdrawal period
