| The Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Join the Millions Who Have Become Non-Smokers Using Allen Carr's Easyway Method by Sterling The easy way for sure | I smoked a pack a day for 23 years. I tried every possible way to quit and nothing worked until I read this book.
My story is pretty much the same as all the other reviews. Halfway through I had already decided to quit but I kept smoking until the end (as recommended by Mr. Carr). By the time I got to the end I was excited, happy, and looking forward to quitting. Then I quit without any pain or irritability, and hardly any cravings whatsoever.
That was about 9 months ago and I haven't had a puff since (and I'm quite certain that I won't ever again). Don't bother with gum, patches, pills, or other pharmaceuticals. The whole industry is a sham. All you need is Allen Carr's book and a few hours to read it. Thanks Allen! | | The Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Join the Millions Who Have Become Non-Smokers Using Allen Carr's Easyway Method by Sterling The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr | This is a fantastic book! I can't believe how easily it worked for me. Stopping smoking is so hard for almost anyone caught in the grip of nicotine addiction, yet this book makes it almost simple to stop the cycle.
The whole premise is to re-brainwash your brain into believing you don't need the cigarettes. You will read the same statements over and over throughout the book and it eventually gets into your brain and becomes true.
You are instructed to keep smoking until you complete the book. I did take about 2 weeks to read it, as I knew when I was finished, that would be the end and my final cigarette. I wasn't sure it would work as I was going along but didn't figure I had much to lose. Even as I shut the book, having smoked my final cigarette, I thought to myself, "I don't know..." Well, it did work. And with no pain or cravings at all. I was amazed! The first couple days were the trickiest (and to be expected) but it wasn't anything like I expected. After reading this book, I have not been tempted to go back to smoking since I stopped 4 months ago.
I was once a 2 pack a day smoker, got hypnotized and stopped for 15 years. Then somehow I got caught up into the cycle once again during a stressful place in my life. Back up to a pack a day, I realized I didn't want to do this again and luckily I found this book.
I purchased the book for my brother and my sister. It's that good. It really works!
Treat nicotine addiction like alcohol addiction and realize you can never have "just one", and you will be free forever. Just keep an open mind and try reading the book. It works for almost anyone that reads it. If it doesn't, read it again!
| | The Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Join the Millions Who Have Become Non-Smokers Using Allen Carr's Easyway Method by Sterling Worked for me! | | I bought this after seeing so many five star reviews. I tell you, I didn't intend to stop smoking. Just wanted to see what they were talking about. Lo and behold, I stopped before getting halfway thru the book(Eight year smoker). As of today (5/14/08), it's been five weeks since I stopped. I truly don't need that monster any more. Now, I gotta get my wife to read it. God bless. | | The Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Join the Millions Who Have Become Non-Smokers Using Allen Carr's Easyway Method by Sterling A word to the sceptics | I am entering this review to pick an argument with those who gives the book 4, 3, or 2 stars, based on their opinions to the tune of "yes, I quit smoking, but the book is horribly written", "...there are so many repetitions", "...the logic is faulty at places".
As if there were so many other (working!) books on the market, so many (working!) methods to stop smoking, that nobody should be subject to suffering through a less-than-perfectly-written book just to get rid of the habit. As if there weren't a huge pharmaceutical industry supposed to help people stop smoking (but not helping). As if thousands of physicians, hypnotists, acupuncturists, etc., etc., hadn't built their careers around our addiction to nicotine. As if many people weren't spending thousands of dollars on Nicorette, nicotine patches, hypnosis sessions, etc., with no lasting success.
Dear Smoker! If you are looking for a rigorous study of smoking/stopping smoking, or for a piece of fine reading on the subject, look elsewhere.
It absolutely SHOULDN'T MATTER to you how well the book is written. What does matter is that it works. While reading the book, there were moments when I thought the author was insulting my intelligence. A couple of times I wondered whether the publisher's main goal was saving on editors, so many repetitions and logic faults were "missed". All the reviewers who say "I quit but..." have their facts after "but" correct.
However, it's obvious that the book is written this way ON PURPOSE. It aims not at winning your admiration for the author's mastery of words, but at HAVING you stop smoking. That goal appears to get achieved in the vast majority of cases. And the way it's achieved is not by giving the reader the scientific info on smoking or telling anecdotes about successful quitters. It sort of re-tools the way the reader-smoker thinks about smoking and the process of quitting. For that the author employs methods of NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming). THAT'S WHY the text may seem weird to many readers.
My 5 stars go not to the author's style, not to the scientific facts presented in the book, but to the product that HAD GOT me stop smoking. That's after many attempts over a decade, using nearly all other well known methods. Had it been not a book but a pill, an injection, a nursery rhyme, or a hit on the back of my head with a club, had it cost not $10 but $1000, it would still get 5 stars from me and would still be worth the money.
| | The Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Join the Millions Who Have Become Non-Smokers Using Allen Carr's Easyway Method by Sterling The Easy Way To Stop Smoking by Allen Carr | | This book made my mother stop smoking this past Februray. She's 58 years old, and smoked since her early teens. She was diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstrutic pulmonary disease) due to smoking on 6-06-06. Ironically between that date and being told that diagnosis and placed on Albuterol inhaler she only quit for a month. She continued- and her conditioned worsened when she came down with a bought of routine bronchitis that was inches away from walking phenumonea. Her lungs could not fight it off anymore. To top it off, The albuterol inhalers were reformulated and lost their effectivenss for some persons. After going into the doctors again for her bronchitis (I had to drag her there), and being placed on an excellent new medication for COPD called Spiriva, AND, convincing her to read this book- SHE QUIT, AND her lungs are dramatically improved within just several months time. She could even cut in half her other medications, and practically eliminated one altogether. Her phlem, cough- all that is better. She should have done this years ago. I'm 31 years old and I remember this was going to be a Christmas presant to me when I was 12. I feel through my persistence in taking her to the doctors (she is just not one to be worried about things like this as crazy as it sounds), getting her on that Spiriva, and me researching this site on this wonderful book FINALLY got through to her that these things are nothing but life destroyers. I believe you should quit not just because you know you should, but because you truly WANT to. Never give up on somebody or yourself for that matter. It can take a long time- but in this case persistance paid off- and this was MY Christmas presant to her. | | The Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Join the Millions Who Have Become Non-Smokers Using Allen Carr's Easyway Method by Sterling Product Description | 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.
