It's been four years since my last cigarette. This book reprograms the way your brain thinks about smoking and I've tried to give up at least 6 times..

I read this book about ten years ago, on about my fifth attempt to stop smoking. I can honestly say since that time I have only craved a cigarette on less than five occasions.

To put it simply this book worked on me absolutely. I wanted to believe every word he wrote and I did. That is why it worked. You need to look past the fact he is a bit of a wanker in the way he writes and simply believe him.

Bin jetzt Endlich Nichtraucher! ;)

Einfache Psychologie wird hier benutzt, um eine große Änderung im Verhalten des Rauchers hervorzuheben.

Ich finde es sehr interessant, dass der Autor sogar selber sagt, dass man nicht mit dem Rauchen aufhören soll, bis man das Buch bis zum Ende gelesen hat. Ich persönlich habe das Buch erst angefangen zu lesen, nachdem ich mich bereits dazu entschlossen hatte, aufzuhören. Ich denke das war der Grund, warum das Buch in den letzten Kapiteln für mich etwas wiederholend und langweilig wurde, weil ich das von ihm verlangte, bereits durchgesetzt hatte.

Nichtsdestotrotz eine große Hilfestellung gewesen!

Für mich unerwarteter Moment beim Lesen war, als der Autor versprach, im nächsten Kapitel die Vorteile des Rauchens aufzuzählen. Als ich leicht verwundert und neugierig weiter blätterte, starrte ich auf zwei komplett leere Seiten und musste dann zu gegebener Weise auch lachen (obwohl es nicht einmal so lustig war, aber halt unerwartet).

Excellent. Exposes smoking and the lies smokers tell themselves that keeps them hooked. Even if you only think *maybe* *at some point* you never want to smoke again, read this book. And give it to anyone you know who wants out of the trap.

this book will help you quit if you want to quit, but can't. As easy as that. If you want to smoke and think it's cool and tasty - do it.
But if you're tired of smelly fingers, two dozens of breaks a day and whining of non-smoking people around - read this, it will free you.

First time I feel confident trying to stop, where I honestly can't imagine picking up another cigarette or vape

I don’t struggle with smoking, but was curious about this philosophy as it applies to other addictive behaviors in life. The author has his quirks, but overall good food for thought + I respect the impact

Ok, so... today, it's 100 days since I've read the last page of Allan Carr's Easy Way, which also means it's my 100th smokefree day. Yay! It doesn't even feel like an achievement, which is pretty amazing actually, because it means that it doesn't require any effort.

Of course, my whole smoking history isn't as simple as that, and I don't want to bother you with it. Just a couple of thoughts: It's not the first time I've read the book, and it's not the first time I've quit, and I think both - especially the latter - have been necessary for me in order to be where I am now, i.e. very sure about never ever touching a cigarette again in my life. This time, my attitude towards smoking has changed entirely. I'm not sure why, but I'm happy it's the way it is. Perhaps, I'm feeling the same way Allan Carr did when he finally quit smoking for good. Now, I spot smokers and think 'Poor things! Enslaved by their addiction...'. After my last cigarette, there hasn't been a single moment I wanted to smoke. On the contrary! I feel so good about not having to inhale that nasty smoke anymore, and I don't understand how I could ever have done that regularly and voluntarily. Even while reading the book, I couldn't wait to finish it, so I could finally finally finish my very last cigarette and be free.

So... If you're a smoker, and you're willing and ready to quit, read this book! It's repetitive. It's not high literature. It's simple and a bit boring at times. But it's the best thing you can do! It can work magic. And even if it doesn't work the first time around, just try it again later. I'm sure even the most "convinced" chain smoker is able to become a convinced non-smoker again (again, because nobody is a convinced smoker when they start, that only comes later, along with a long list of excuses). Long story short, I can definitely recommend Carr's Easy Way!

But sir, I'm mentally ill.

This book changed my life. I smoked for 5 years, never surpassing more than a few hours without nicotine. After I finished this book I haven't even been tempted to smoke. Anyone looking to give up smoking: I couldn't stress the importance of giving this book a try. You definitely won't regret it.

If I manage to stay off cigarettes, I’ll definitely bump the rating.

Update:

I finished this book on December 26th with the intent to choose my stop smoking day and still a healthy amount of skepticism. But I didn't even end up choosing; I finished the book and just...haven't smoked for a month. I don't know how the hell this is working, but I'm grateful every day that I took a chance on using a book to quit smoking after many failed attempts.
