Jason Vale's book is very similar to Alan Carr's book in that they are both a form of self-hypnosis. But it isn't trickery. The book confronts every supposed benefit of drinking and carefully dissects it to show the reader that there actually isn't any benefit. Not only is there no benefit, but it is actually harmful for you. By hammering this message home again and again, the reader eventually comes to understand that a person is really not giving up anything and only reaping good things if they quit. It can remove a huge hurdle many people face when considering whether to quit.
