   No need for a long review here. About the first three quarters of the book is spent exploding various myths and delusions about smoking (such as smoking relaxing you or getting rid of stress), which sets you up and gets you into the right frame of mind for actually quitting. At this point, the book wants you to continue smoking while you read it. In a nutshell, the easy way to stop smoking involves two things: one, deciding you are never going to smoke again, and two, don’t mope about it anymore, rejoice. Sounds too simple, but after reading the first part of the book, this strategy will make more sense to you.

   Lastly, the book cites two main reasons why you will fail: the influence of other smokers, and having a bad day. Having been around for 20 some years and being able to refine it with twenty years of feedback, I feel like this is one of the better books out there on non-smoking.

   Also helpful: The Sixty-Second Motivator -short, to the point, and practical.

   My wife tried every technique including the LungUSA program (Freedom from Smoking), counselors, the gum, willpower, etc. I came across this book in the mall, she read it, and quit. And she did it decisively. Don’t buy this for someone you want to quit — reserve it for when they are committed and struggling and need something to help them. The psychology is subtle but highly effective. I even bought a copy to put in the public library. It begs the question — why hasn’t it become popular here already?

   To the point, very good
   Very well written, supportive, to the point. For me, trying to stop smoking always got more difficult after the second day of cold turkey, and generally by the third day, I would…

   This review is from: Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking (Hardcover)

   I quit after 40 years of smoking at least one pack a day, and it was just as easy as Allen Carr said it would be. I think the key is to give in and accept what Carr is telling you.

   I didn’t think I was ready to quit. I thought I enjoyed smoking, and some days, a cigarette was my only incentive to get out of bed. I had bought the book on a whim, for some day far off in the future when I’d be “ready” to quit. I had bought a carton of cigarettes on Saturday, and then on Sunday I was bored and decided to read the book. Had my last cigarette before I was halfway through. Next morning at work, a friend asked me if I was ready to go outside for a smoke break and I said “Well, I don’t smoke anymore, but I’ll go outside with you.”

   No withdrawal pangs, just a feeling of relief that I didn’t have to smoke any more, and that it wasn’t going to be hard at all. All the smoking triggers that I worried about — car trips, after meals, phone calls, stressful times at work or at home, leaving work and lighting up, having a beer at the bar — none of those things triggered the urge. The urge is gone.

   Wish I had found the book earlier.

   This is just an amazing book
   My brother recommended this book to me, he quit (now over a month!) after reading this book. I read this on 8/16/09 and I have been smoke-free for four days now (8/20/09).

   Pretty Amazing
   I don’t really understand it but basically it seems to me that this book is a kind of hypnosis. By the time you’ve finished reading it, it has banged into your head certain ideas…

   Just Another Ex-Smoker
   The book worked for me, just as magically as people said it would. I was so scared to read it, afraid it wouldn’t work because I smoked so much and for so long.

    Success!
    A number of patients in the medical clinic where I work have said that this book helped them quit smoking when nothing else had.

    100% recommended
    I’m extremely skeptical about books like this– but found that this one worked brilliantly. Here’s what convinced me at first: Carr points out that smokers are often *afraid* to…
