 Provides a positive push... but is ultimately devoid of 'real' insight November 22, 2008
First thing to point out, I didnt read the book until a long time after I had successfully managed to quit by reading 'The Nicotine Trick'. Curiosity got the better of me to see just why Carr was the de facto smoking guru. From my perspective this book has succeeded mainly from the positive message it instils in the reader and from persistant hammering home of the message. This can and has worked for many, but many aspects of the Easyway method have now been shown as bunk by Chris Holmes' marvelous book. It is definately worth a read, but in my opinion your money would be better spent on 'The Nicotine Trick' or 'Nicotine The Drug That Never Was'. These go further to the root of the problem rather than being mainly motivational (as Easyway is), and help you come out the other side understanding smoking better, and, providing the tools to quit successfully.
Ignore the 1 star givers!!!! November 20, 2008
Read this book in 3 days and quit just like it said on the tin, been 3 weeks now and I already know i'll never smoke another cigarette in my life, and that feels amazing to say. Just like to also say that you MUST have an open positive mind to read this book, believe all that you are going to be told because 99% is true! If you start to disagree (you ARE kidding yourself) or have the opinion or feeling of "this won't work for me", "i'm too CLEVER for this to work on me", or "i knew all this already" (which I promise you don't, you may know some of it but not ALL of it, esp the STRESS/RELAXATION/BOREDOM part, because if you did you wouldn't smoke :0) like reading the 1 star givers posts seemed to have, then this won't work. However, if like me, you desparately want to stop then just give in to the book. Its not hypnotic like some 1 star givers have suggested, its just cold hard facts (a lot of which you will NOT know), and the reason for the repetition is that it is EASY WAY for the brain to store information (reasons for not smoking information in this case). Call it brainwashing if you want, but if it stops you from smoking then surely it HAS to be Positive Brainwashing if ever such thing exists. Allen Carr has made a lot of money from this, but hell he deserves it, he may have prolonged more lives than any top surgeon could ever wish for. READ IT, GIVE IN TO IT, DON'T GIVE UP, STOP.
It works November 4, 2008
I have been a 20-40 a day smoker for just over 20 years I have never realy tried with any great conviction to quit, I have tried to cut down but never give up even tho for the last 9 years I've hated smoking and what its done to my family. I started reading the book and half way through I new I was going to give up, Its hard to explain but it was almost like a revelation; the blinkers have been removed I can now see all the benefits of NOT smoking. Highly recommend this book even if you only have a 50% chance of succeeding it has to be worth it for the cost of the book.
 Tried, Tested and Failed - But I Loved It! August 27, 2008
Having read this book I should say from the outset that this method did not work for me, however, I have lent the book to over 5 friends of mine (Sorry!) and all have managed to as soon as finishing the book!!
I can honestly say that this is a very honest and well thought out method for quitting and am very happy I read it, because, ever since finishing it, whilst I haven't managed to break the habit... I have hated every cigarette since!!!
Well Done!! If your a smoker... Please try this!!!
If the penny drops you will quit August 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read this book nearly 4 years ago and i aint smoked since.
It's impossible to explain the magic of this book,and if the penny drops you cannot fail to quit.I tried them all patches, gum,willpower and just kept beating myself up.There really is something magic about this book i can't explain.read it over 1 or 2 nights and like i say if the penny drops you will quit.
Good luck
