    About this ebook

    This self-help book is a personal journey of the author’s experience of quitting cigarettes after smoking for 28 years. It will identify and guide you through the most common pitfalls of quitting as well as give weapons to beat the nicotine monster. And if that’s not enough, there are some fun poems, songs and office graffiti thrown in to distract you while you quit.

    Shane Ward

    Shane’s stunning autobiography (part one) ‘Walking The Path’ is a bio worth reading. Exposure to some of the raw end of life may not always be pleasant but it does present the opportunity to learn quickly and develop wisdom, experience and insight. At the time of writing this (2013) he is still in the process of living part two, which has so far been far from pedestrian. Shane has worked in many occupations to pay bills including optics, bingo, betting office, petrol station attendant, warehouse stock control, recruitment consultancy and job centre adviser. If life was about anything with purpose, Shane believed it was none of these. The sense of purpose was discovered in many of those things that did not pay money - that is to say only in the highly competitive ends where money could be made but was strangled by its paymasters. For Shane discovered his most creative and productive motivation was in music, writing, comedy and in the development of new ideas. The age of the computer opened many doors that were previously closed, including the creation of midi, virtual orchestras and the blessing of DVD. Shane has composed music in many genres: His music publisher, ‘Ton 4 Music’. holds many of the works heard on the Bandcamp web site. Shane also wrote two musicals in 2010 / 2011 for live theatre performance and has arranged music for a third. Shane plays piano and violin. Some 24 years of searching for a particular question led to Shane’s first book ‘The Philosophy Of The Tarot For The 21st Century’. This was followed quickly by further books in association with Synergebooks, including the groundbreaking ‘Numerology: Making It Work For You’ and the popular self help book ‘Stop Smoking: Diary Of A Quitter. In 2012 the long threatened comedy poetry book ‘LOL Poems’ added to the list. In addition, Shane has studied the art of Tarot and the sciences of Numerology and Mundane Astrology, as well as history and current affairs. Shane is married to his wife, Sharon, has four children and the ongoing arrival of grandchildren where six is a tally soon to be surpassed. He now regrets his promise to make films for his grandchildren’s birthdays / Christmas / special events as his home film tally reaches 100 and is a monster without mercy. Further comedy and film is on You Tube.
