Product Description

Product Description

A companion volume to Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking.

About the Author

The common thread running through Allen Carr’s work is the removal of fear - eliminating the phobias and anxieties which prevent people from being able to enjoy life to the full. Allen Carr's books include; Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking, The Only Way to Stop Smoking Permanently, Allen Carr's Easyweigh to Lose Weight, How to Stop Your Child Smoking and The Easy Way to Enjoy Flying.

A successful accountant, Allen Carr’s hundred-cigarettes-a-day addiction was driving him to despair until, in 1983, after countless failed attempts to quit, he finally discovered what the world had been waiting for – the Easy Way to Stop Smoking. He has built a network of clinics that span the globe and gained a phenomenal reputation for success in helping smokers to quit. His books are published in over twenty languages and video, audio and CD ROM versions of his method are also available.

Allen Carr died aged 72 in 2006.

I read this book with no real intentions of stopping. I'm a born skeptic and read it out of pure curiosty. I am now a non-smoker. Believe me i'm the last person to provide anyone with free advertising but this book truly deserves it, it's fantastic. I would recommend it even if you don't want to give up, just read it and if you're still smoking when you've finished the book you're no worse off than when you first picked it up. It deals with the psychology around smoking, the smoker and society, it totally dispells all the myths you've heard about being hooked on nicotine. Upon reading it you'll probably feel as though the author repeats himself throughout the book albeit using alternative words and phrases, but, it's obviously this repetition and constant 'hammering home' of the stop smoking message that makes this method so effective. The bonus factor is that it teaches you to give up without putting on weight and using substitutes such as patches and gum. Give it a whirl, it really is worth while.

I had previously read Mr. Carrs other book (The Easyway to Stop Smoking) and gave up sucessfully for 9 months. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of having one cigarette, that led to another and the another and I found my self smoking again. However, I was still going round pushing the benefits of the book (!), after all, Mr Carr told me that having just 1 more cigarette would mean the cycle would start again. He was right !

After 18 months I read the same book - it didn't work. I had too many negatives, and answers to the questions he posed.

I therefore took the plunge and bought this book. I took about 4 months to read it - lots of chapters & small print, and as other people have mention he does go on a bit, plus the knowledge that once I got to the end I would no longer smoke did not make it compelling reading. In the end I took the book on holiday with me and read it at every chance I could.

Needless to say I had my last cigarette on 20/4/02. Unlike last time I don't have weak moments and even when I do think of smoking (which is not very often) the thoughts are soon banished. I don't intend to start again.

If you value your health (& your pocket), buy the book - you really don't have anything to lose (apart from the small price of the book). You can alway re-sell the book on Amazon if your not impressed, but don't sell it without reading it first.

As an after thought - my boss, my husband, my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law and too many other people to mention, have all stopped smoking because of Mr. Carr. If he ever reads this, I would like to thank him and shake his hand. !!!! : - )

For less than the price of 2 packets of fags, I am now a happy and contented non smoker, and whats more I know I will be for the rest of my life.

It was a scary thought at first thinking that I would never 'be allowed' to smoke again. Now I just don't need or want to.
Whilst reading this book I thought 'When is this guy going get on with it and press that magic button'. It was a long read and I was getting fed up with my work mates coming in to the smoke room and taking the mickey out of me for smoking whilst reading a book about stopping smoking. If I could have given up at the begining of the book then there would have been no need to buy the book in the first place. Needless to say.

They don't take the mickey anymore.

Buy this book if you have tried stopping in the past using will power or nicotine substitutes and I can guarantee that you will stop this time without being miserable and without needing substitutes.

Allen Carr truly understands everything about nicotine addiction and can help even YOU.

You do not need to read 'The Easyway to stop smoking' as is suggested at the beginning of this book. The method works without it. I am proof of that.

The great prize that we obtain for our slavery, the loss of our health, money and self-respect, is just an illusion. Smoking does absolutely nothing for you at all! &quote;

Understand the nature of the smoking trap. Realise that smoking provides no crutch or pleasure whatsoever! Realise that it creates rather than fills a void. Know that whether you be going through good times or bad, you will never have the need, desire or temptation to light a cigarette and will be happy to remain a non-smoker the rest of your life. &quote;

Why did I find it so easy to stop when I extinguished my final cigarette? Because I realised that the empty, insecure feeling of wanting a cigarette was caused by the last cigarette and that the one thing that would ensure that I would suffer that awful feeling the rest of my life, would be: THE NEXT CIGARETTE &quote;
