Editorial Reviews: A new edition of the revolutionary bestseller, with four million copies in print. Allen Carr’s innovative Easyway method—which he discovered after his own 100-cigarette-a-day habit nearly drove him to despair—has helped millions kick smoking without feeling anxious and deprived. That’s because he helps smokers discover the psychological reasons behind their dependency, explains in detail how to handle the withdrawal symptoms, shows them how to avoid situations when temptation might become too strong, and enables them to stay smoke-free. Carr discusses such issues as nicotine addiction; the social “brainwashing” that encourages smoking; the false belief that a cigarette relieves stress; the role boredom plays in sabotaging efforts to stop; and the main reasons for failure. With this proven program, smokers will be throwing away their packs for good.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: What can I say...it worked. Comment: I purchased this book after reading about 50 positive reviews here on Amazon, still unconvinced that a book would undo 15 years of smoking. Well, I followed the instructions, and here I am: a non-smoker of 6 weeks. I must admit, you probably will have to want to quit smoking to accomplish this feat, but aside from having the desire, Allen Carr takes care of the rest. I am not sure how it works; it is my theory that the author hypnotizes the smoker into being a non-smoker through repetition. No matter how it works, I can breathe, and my fiance was pleasantly surprised with my dedication to non-smoking. Give this book a try. You won't regret it. Customer Rating: Summary: Wasn't determined... but I was willing to want to be.. and it STILL worked! Comment: I had quit years ago, several times. I just couldn't bring mself to start what would certainly be another failure. I enjoyed my cigarettes too much to gird up to tackle this problem again. Then I saw a reference to this book on an online quit forum (a well meaning forum sponsored by the medical nicotine industry). I looked up the book, looked up Allen Carr's site... and was struck with all the hype. AND all the hype by celebrities. WAY TOO MUCH HYPE, I was sure. What was the deal??? Oh heck. The book was about $11 here, so I ordered it. I was curious. I was not planning; I was not determined; I was not hopeful. I was curious. And since I could smoke while I read.... what the heck. The book arrived on Wednesday. I started reading immediately -- and was now real curious what the heck this Allen-person thought he was doing. I knew hypnosis by reading was impossible. And I noticed he was a bit repetitive. But then, I found myself re-wording some of the phrases he stressed so that they were MY words. Long-story-short: By Sunday (I was taking my time reading) I was coming to the end of the book. When I got to the part where he said "Okay. This is it. You have to be 100% certain..." I realized I was NOT 100% certain... but I WAS about 96% certain. I wonder. Maybe it will work with 96% certainty. Okay... I'm doing it. I quit on June 4, 2006, at 8:30pm. Allen Carr is right. I did not experience the suffering of withdrawals that I had the first times I quit the "old way". Here is one thing that I feel help me supremely: When I did feel a twinge, or an urge, or a sensation I related to 'wanting to smoke'... I turned my whole Attention INTO it. NOT away. NOT ignoring. Not avoiding. I FOCUSED on what I was really feeling, where I was feeling it, is it already gone??? (Most times, YES!) Instead of intensifying a desire, the 'urge' or twinge vanished or turned into a sensation or an emotion.. 100% of the TIME!!!! NO nicotine has entered my body since that last cigarette. I am STILL AMAZED and deeply, deeply grateful. Customer Rating: Summary: i quit smoking right after i read this book Comment: this book is full of helpful information on misconceptions about smoking. this book gave me a great deal of hope that i would be able to quit smoking at last. right after i read this book i smoked the last cig in my life and felt really good about quitting. i didn't feel any pain even the lil nicotine monster in my stomach urged me to smoke, i was enjoying that he was going to die soon. now i'm a non-smoker and feel really good about it. thanks allen! Customer Rating: Summary: Good Concept Comment: I felt almost panicked when I neared the end of the book. I am still smoking. I will reread the book (as another person suggested). While reading the book I felt empowered, but something broke in the last few chapters. Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome read, and it works Comment: When I was nineteen, I shipped to basic training. I was a smoker at that time and knew I was not going to be able to smoke for four months! I thought it was going to be horrible, but it wasn't. It was not hard to quit (not that I had a choice anyway), and I had no ill effects due to it. The first thing I did when I graduated was to buy a pack of cigarettes and picked the yucky habit right back up again. Since then I have tried to quit literally hundreds of times since, and wondered why they were not easy like the time I went to basic training. The answers lied in this book. It is purely mental. Yes there is a small physical piece to quitting, but I truly believe for me the hardest part was the mental portion. This book gives you the proper mindset to quit smoking, and does that well. Take it from a guy who has literally tried hundreds of times to quit, and thought I was what Alan Carr describes as a confirmed smoker, you can quit and enjoy it! I have now been a non-smoker for two weeks. To those who have not yet read the book, that sounds like an incredibly short period of time. However, I know without a doubt that I will never place another cigarette to my mouth again. This is the best book I have read, as it has given my life back to me. If you are a smoker in a various state of confidence of your ability to quit smoking, buy this book and read it, then read it again. I had to read it twice for some points to stick. More Reviews
