Get The Audio Version Of This Book For Best Results
I purchased the audio book and ordered the soft cover book. I listened to the audio book from start to finish for five hours and received the soft cover book a few days later. I was very skeptical at first, but this book has really helped me. I stopped gambling that very night like some kind of spell had been broken. As I leave this review it has been 32 days since I gambled and I really don't have any urges at all. I suggest you listen to the audio book and later go over the more powerful chapters with the physical book. Don't skip any chapters or steps. Have an open mind and give it a try. This book will help you stop even if you've been gambling all your life.

Helped Me Quit After Being in Denial
Since the casinos are closed due to the quarantine requirements, those of us who truly frequented them often have had to go without the rush of gambling. This book truly saved my life. I will not spoil plot but I will say, "the same thing that you think will deliver you from stress or you see as just some innocent fun, likely is causing your stress. I have listened to the book three times and I am glad to say "I'm done with gambling and it is not worth it." Thanks Alan Carr. You saved my life.

If you are sick and tired of gambling, and want to quit once and for all, read this book! You will not be disappointed.
I won't try to summarize the book here, but I will say, this book really clicked for me, and I am a non-gambler now! I have tried other methods, and failed miserably to defeat my gambling addiction. This book really dissects the myths of gambling, and it is not using will power. It is a method of analyzing and breaking down the condition, explaining the illusion and tricks that gambling has played on your brain. Now that I read the book, it all seems so simple and clear. I will re-read this book periodically as a refresher. I can say with great satisfaction and thanks to the author, that I am a changed man, and I am quite certain that I will never gamble again in my life. I could not be happier!

This really is the Easyway!!!
I haven’t gambled for over a month...and I haven’t had urges. Yes, I’ve thought about it, but gambling is something I did all the time before I became a non-gambler. So, now I’m just grateful I’m not required to gamble when I think about it and go on living my life. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of Allen Carr. He’s changed my way of thinking and he’s changed my life.

This is a good, helpful
This is a good, helpful, practical and easy to read book but in the end it is still up to the person to want to change. If they don't want to change wholeheartedly it won't be as beneficial.

It works.. but only if you want it too
All the way up until about reading half way I was sceptical of this book working. But by the time I got to the end I had no desire to gamble again, this from someone that gambled for about 30 year's. I have waited to write this review and it has now been 6 months and I still have no desire to gamble.I can see how it wont work for some people, perhaps me 15 years ago would of rejected many of the hard truths the book presents, and still been adamant in the back of my mind that gambling would ultimately help me.If you have a genuine desire to stop gambling, and can be honest with yourself then this book can work for you.I purchased the audible version, and read it twice within a few days.

Easy Perspective
Allen Carr brings who unique addiction model to gambling and provides some advice that can be a strong help with this subtle addiction. Like his quit smoking books, Carr essentially says that there is no real pleasure in gambling, so there’s nothing really to give up. Also he emphasizes that odds are always stacked against the gambler winning, especially long-term. Though this book lacks in some areas, overall it is mostly helpful. Gambling is one of the most destructive addictions, though it’s socially acceptable, it can destroy one’s finances quicker than any other addiction. This can create a high risk for job loss, divorce, bankruptcy, depression and even suicide. This book provides many beneficial aids to help one escape this deceptive trap. Recommended.

He doesn’t have experience with gambling addiction.
Allen Car compares gambling addiction to smoking too much. They are not similar addictions. There is lots of shaming language without much compassion for the human struggling already with toxic levels of shame. This book basically tells you, “just stop gambling loser.” I don’t recommend it.
