"Gilbreth, Thank you!
I have struggled with this dreadful nail-biting thing for 36 years. I thought I beat it once or twice for over a year at the longest, but when the stress of life increased, I went right back to it. I'm an equity partner with an international law firm handling complex commercial litigation for sophisticated clients and high dollar issues.
My job is pure stress. I thought the nail-biting, at least currently, was stress induced and the evidence of the stress. I think when I read your book and the many helpful things within it, the number one thing that stuck with me was that this was just a bad habit. More than anything else, that statement helped me stop giving this stupid habit more power. Then I followed your process and have been free of nail-biting for a couple months. I continue to use your techniques as described (email slightly edited here to preserve the method's integrity - it only works if you follow along the path as detailed in the book).
Words are insufficient to convey the gratitude I have for you and your book. Thank you for what you have done in guiding the path and lighting the way out of this painful bad habit. Very Sincerely, Charlie M."
Natalie (from Facebook): No subject
"I just finished reading your book, I am 88 years young,and always had this miserable habit.growing up was hard for me,my parents were from europe and very strict and not affectionate at all,I always got yelled at for just voicing my opinion. Nail biting was an outlet for me.This feeling of not being loved for just me carried with me the feeling of me being a nothing in this world, I do not feel sorry for myself because it will not help.
My parents were raised very badly themselves,so they did not know how to raise a child to be confident and proud.
After reading your book, I stopped biting my nails at once. It is like a spell was lifted from me I have no desire at all to even think of my nails. Use the treatment in your book all the time. It works. G-d bless you for coming up with this book. Fondly natalie."

Arlene Miller: Don’t buy this book. It’s a waste of your time and money.
"This book was a complete waste of my money. The secret to stopping nail biting is wearing a rubber band on your wrist and snapping it every time you want to bite or are biting the nails. Really? What a waste. "
Our reply: the technique you mention above is only a SMALL part of the overall assasination of this bad habit. You have not fully read the book, nor mentioned the other 75% of the technique. Did you fully comprehend the section on grooming? We have offered money back, but no reply to date.
Amazon customer: It works. Three weeks in, and nails feeling great again
"Actually worked! Simple solution almost too simple to believe. I can’t believe it was so easy. So thankful to find such a hidden/obscure book, especially since so much junk is out there (psych books, therapy, hypnosis tracks, nail paint, etc). This was easy and simple and works."
Colleen wood: Great book but stop nail-biting.com does not exist
I have a very bad nail bitting habit. My 12 year old saw my fingers were bleeding and that started the discussion of my nail bitting habit. My daughter actually found this book and I purchased it.
This book is VERY well written. I read the entire thing. I used the tools it gave me. After 1 week it was working well but I started wanting to do my ritual of bitting again within 2 weeks.
I was hopeful I could contact the website in the back of the book. The author says to keep in touch. I tried going to the website and it no longer exist. This is sad because I was hoping on getting info or connecting with other nail bitters. If the Author reads this please let me know if there is some other website or tool I can use. I'm still trying.
Our reply: yes, you are correct. We let the forum and website lapse when we were hit with a cyber attack. Maintaining forum software is incredibly time consuming. That being said, stopyournailbiting.com is back up, and we now also have a Facebook page. See the Facebook link on our home page here. Hope to hear from you!
Ms. Olsen: Excellent and simple!
I believe these steps will be helpful to my granddaughter who suffers the damage to her self-esteem from nail picking. She has tried many things; bandaids, gloves, hands in pockets, etc. to no success.
I have observed the investigative looking phase many times, followed by the grooming attempts.
I feel confident this technique will bring her success! And she so deserves relief from the disappointment this unconscious habit creates.
Thank you, thank you for sharing your story!
Rmnp camper: This works!
Simple, but effective. I've had trouble with this my whole life and this is the best thing I've ever tried. Before, I had to do a nail coating, but found the sanding and chemicals are hard on my nails and the maintenance was pricey. Now, in less than two months, I have nice natural nails! I can't say the author will win any literary awards and I skimmed over parts of the book, but this method works! It was worth the $2.
Bhappy: This works!
I have bitten my nails for as long as I can remember. I've tried almost everything to end this embarrassing habit, but I end up back where I was every time. Since beginning this method, my hands have not once gone to my mouth. Because this method curbs the core behavior it is an actual cure, not just a metaphorical band aid. Thank you for writing this book and sharing this simple method!
R. Hall: It works!
Approach and explanation helps transform nail biting habit when you recognise the triggers. 8 weeks in and still working after being a nail biter for 40 years. Technique didn’t take long to master. Use a nail strengthening varnish to support growth and aid repair which then encourages you more. Recommend to others who have tried everything else!
