Aimed at Women but Fit for All

I'd enjoyed the original Easy Way book so much I bought this one as well to supplement my learning. While not as good as the first, it provides a great overview of the ideal program to quit tobacco for good.

It may seem like common sense, but it really is all about the attitude when you quit. This really did make a difference for me. Recommended!!

Finally, it all makes sense.

Haven't smoked since September 2007. Need I say more? Oh and I was a heavy smoker for 18 years. Thank you Allen Carr!!

It has been 10 day without smoking, and I'm doing Quite well with it. Every time I think I want a cigarette, I say to myself, I am a non-smoker. I have smoked for over 25 years...Read it... It will help you with your thinking of Not smoking. 8/11/13

It worked for me!

I'm now on day 6 of being a non smoker - I'll admit I wasn't convinced when I bought this book, but it cost a lot less than a packet of cigarettes so I thought I'd give it a go.
Let's hope this is a lifetime change!

I STOPPED SMOKING, SINCE THE FIRST PAGE!!!! IT'S GREAT!

2 stars because I know Carrs easy way has helped many people become non-smokers, and because some of the ideas (towards the end) were good for me.

I do think, however, that all Carr does is encourage a positive attitude towards stopping, and a negative attitude toward nicotine, and what smoking actually is (through reinforcing the same ideas again and again).

I will say the way Carr spoke about any ‘willpower methods’ was frustrating, essentially telling the reader any other way won’t work and encouraging everyone to visit his centres or read his books will! — interesting eh!

Having already stopped smoking a few weeks before reading this I didn’t really find it groundbreaking, insightful or ‘magical’. Maybe if my attitude was different towards smoking (that I actually still wanted to) it may have helped more (?)

I can't remember why there is a women's version of this, but this did help me when even though I wasn't addicted to the nicotine. I thought it was well-written and can be helpful to someone who is having trouble quitting smoking.

I read this book in the year 2000 and haven't smoked since. After finishing it, thinking I was ready, I caved on the first day, but as I smoked that first cigarette I knew that this was my last pouch of tobacco, and it was. There were a few small pangs of withdrawal during the first three days, which rapidly abated; after that there was zero temptation to smoke again. Zero.
Some reviewers have said the book is repetitive and boring. It is repetitive, and the literary style makes Dan Brown look like Chekhov, but the repetition is necessary to demolish the stubborn, stupid delusions smokers have that keep them smoking. You can't knock a brick wall down with the gentle rap of a ball-peen hammer.
While the style is a dull it would be inappropriate to call it boring, as it has a proven potential to get rid of a highly damaging, repulsive habit. The very dullness can be turned to the reader's advantage, however. This is a book that you don't want to have to read a second time, so do it properly the first time. My copy was just 140 pages long. 140 small pages with big margins, all in all the equivalent length of about 50 Dan Brown pages. Don't skim; you must take on board the ideas properly so that they truly penetrate into your mind where good sense will almost inevitably triumph over stupidity. Take notes, they don't need to be in depth, but the process really helps you to absorb the book properly.
Follow the rules: I particularly liked the one about continuing to smoke until you have finished the book. I would sit down with a beer at the end of the day, roll myself a couple of ciggies and read 10 pages. This way it took just 2 weeks to finish.
Today, I am currently reading a biography of Leonardo da Vinci. It is a fascinating and inspiring account of one of humanity's greatest geniuses, but the odds are that it won't have as large an effect on my life as Allen Carr's stodgy little book.

I found this book to be very repetitive. I felt as though each chapter was just a rehashing of the last and to be very honest, it did not make me want to stop smoking.
