Cognitive Dissonance

This clip from How I Met Your Mother shows how to reduce cognitive dissonance by quitting smoking which is like the same example from the book. It also shows postdecision dissonance because the group decided to quit smoking but after they started to quit, the wanted to smoke again.

This clip shows how Barney tries to add new cognitions to justify his smoking.

So basically, these two clips pretty much show the cognitive dissonance example of smoking from the book.
