Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking: New Us Edition: Over 20 Million Copies Sold

Only read small part so far

I read this book 6 years ago. I have’t smoked since then. I finished it for 2 days.I was so exited that i couldn’t sleep on that night. I deeply believed it would work for me and you know the result.And would never ever start smoking again for sure!

Bought this for my boyfriend to help him stop smoking. It's been a slow read for him so far, but he's said he's found it helpful, and has so far managed to stick to quitting. I'm not sure it's all down to the book, however I bought the book due to recommendations from friends who were ex-smokers and swore by this book. I've been reading it myself also so that I can get a better understanding of smoking addiction as a non smoker that has never smoked.

cool

I read this 10 years ago and haven’t smoked since.

It works!! I don’t know how? It all just sounds like common sense. But it works!!!! Wonderful . Thanks Allen , god bless . X

I read this 9 years ago loved it bought for a friend to help them be cigarette free this book really works I was 20 a day 40 at weekends

Definitely the best book out there for people who want to quit. The book actually provides the answers on why it is hard to quit smoking and explains the benefits of being a non smoker. I bought this book on amazon and read it 4 years ago. I totally forgot to write a review and only now came across it and decided to write one. Maybe it will help someone to make that brave decision and buy it. If you're reading this - you can do it! I haven't been smoking since then and I now live my life without thinking about smoking, instead I always feel sorry for those who still smoke. It was a truly magical experience to read this book and finally wake up from the evil spell of being addicted to cigarettes. Good luck to you all!

Was a bit skeptical about it at first, thinking it is just another hypnosis technique. But everything said in the book makes total sense.Yes you may find it repetitive at times but it is important to read something multiple times to believe it (because it is the truth). After all, smoking is repetitive as well and it has fogged our mind (figuratively ) and lungs literally for years for years.Its been two weeks since I had my last one and would never want to be a smoker again. It was actually easy this time around since the book gets you in the right frame of mind to actually do it and be happy about it. No more feeling miserable with cravings everyday.Can’t thank Allen Carr enough to save mine and so many other lives from the poison we got addicted to in our youth.Highly recommended even if you think you can never stop smoking. Give it a try. What worse can happen than what cigarettes are already doing to your mind and body.

TLDR: I had never before tried to quit. I didn't know if I even wanted to quit. I thought the title sounded so cheesy & couldn't be legit, but I gave it a try. I read it. It worked 100% – I stopped smoking within hours of finishing the book, have been smoke-free ever since (9 months) and will never smoke again in my entire life. GET IT! IT WORKS!...After over a decade as a pack-a-day-or-more smoker, I read this book, and I quit without any physical or mental anguish, and with complete confidence that I will never smoke another cigarette again for as long as I live. It feels amazing. It has been 9 months now, and I can say in all sincerity that after following Carr's method, I have not had a single authentic craving since the moment I put out my final cigarette. The smell of cigarette smoke is absolutely repulsive to me now. When I see people smoking I cannot believe that I was stuck in that trap for so long, and I wish I could stop and tell them all how easy it could be for them to finally be free!The brilliance of Carr's method is that he strips away every possible myth and misconception we hold about why we smoke, and replaces it with facts. Once fully internalized, the truth is impossible to unsee. And once you see it, smoking holds absolutely zero allure for you – it is reduced to what it really is: an addiction to lighting a toxic weed on fire, and inhaling the fumes of the burning poison into your lungs. Smoking doesn't help you focus – it is the urge to smoke that distracts you in the first place. It does not calm your nerves – you are perpetually more stressed all the time because you are anxious about how, when, and where you will next get to smoke. It doesn't give you energy – your energy is low all the time because you're constantly in one phase of nicotine withdrawal or the other.Carr walks you through these myths and many more in great detail, and if you read with intention and an open mind, I can't imagine he won't get through to you. Once the myths are shattered, your will to smoke is gone. By about halfway through the book it was already working – I found every cigarette an absolute chore, even though I followed his instructions and did not cut down nor attempt to quit until the very end. I actually began to feel it took willpower to *continue* smoking at that point (as opposed to willpower to *stop* smoking, as society would have you believe). You do not need willpower to quit doing something that you don't enjoy doing, that is providing you no benefit, and is robbing you of your physical, mental, and financial wellbeing. You need the truth. And that's what Carr gives you.I am grateful everyday for Allen Carr. I am certain I will live a longer – but even more so a HAPPIER – life as a result of this book empowering me to quit smoking.I will note that there are some elements of Carr's cultural perspectives/references that are a bit dated. While some of this may feel like it doesn't apply to you (I'm a 30-something, so I definitely felt that) directly, know that the same general ideas apply to almost every generation. For the most part, I read Carr like he was my grandfather's wise and charming friend – a *bit* out-of-touch from a cultural perspective, but warm, funny, and charismatic none the less. And more to the point, none of this distracts from the overall efficacy of the book or the underlying method it teaches.If you're on this page (and read this far down into my lengthy review), you know on some level that you don't want to be a smoker anymore. This costs less than a pack of smokes – you have nothing to lose and everything to gain – give it a shot!
