Lots of reasons. A lot of people will be tempted to just read the whole text in one go, hoping for the "magic words" effect. They won't actually go through the process, and then complain that they read the book and nothing changed. The book is designed to be an experiential book, not a conceptual book. Also, I want feedback as we go. I know how the exercises worked on me and my local testers, now I want to find out how each exercise is for a much larger group, each step of the way. There's a certain order that everything is in, and in order to design the most effective system, it needs to be examined step by step. Also, doing the day by day method greatly increases the chances of people taking the time to actually try things out. I know if I had the book, I'd be tempted to get to the end to get to "the good stuff." But it's the journey that matters.
