Elementary arguments at first he seems arrogant but all arguments are logical. I think he missed one or two big points that would have convinced me. I wouldn’t recommend this book solely out of the concept that you need to find it for yourself to feel engaged in his argument.

Аллен Карр кладёт алкоголь на лопатки, проходится по нему бульдозером и не оставляет камня на камне от всех тех стереотипов и заблуждений, которые окружают алкоголь.
Рекомендуется тем, кто начал задумываться о "контроле" потребления алкоголя - не важ��о, по каким причинам.

I found this book a drag. Too long and drawn out. Not clear, nor concise. I could only manage to read the first few pages, before I felt like having a drink out of frustration. It was like wading through a very dense forest, and not getting anywhere.
Their are many other books, on this subject, that are way more helpful.

A lot more compelling than I expected. It was obvious from the start that I wasn't the target audience, so I can't say how well the method works for someone trying to quit alcohol (at times I didn't feel like I would have been convinced), but the Amazon testimonials had me intrigued.

Carr's writing style is very didactic, but his method is straightforward and he seems to me to take a much more reasonable approach to addiction and substance abuse than most. Though I don't know much about AA, it has completely changed the lives of some of my friends, so I don't want to belittle that. But I loved that Carr's method is empowering and gives the choice back to the individual. Like the title implies, he doesn't make it any harder than it has to be.

Carr may seem patronizing and dismissive at first glance, but he's personally experienced years of alcohol and nicotine addiction, and helped countless others to overcome it. He's not naive in his perspective. This book has made me rethink the way I view both addictive and social behaviors and even some of my own habits.
