Brill book. I did not read it in my forever quit (this quit) but i still retain some of the info read in it all those years ago. All good. Get reading folks.

This book definitely changed my view of smoking.  Definitely worthwhile reading for anyone quitting or thinking about quitting.

Thanks Doreen. I found the book in pdf format online and haven't been able to put it down. I agree with johnny. It has changed my view of smoking and quitting smoking.

This book pulled the blinders off & I could finally see the true nastiness that is addiction to nicotine.

Bump...for anyone who has not read this amazing book ...

One of the most important books I ever read.

 

Exposed the myths surrounding smoking and made the lies we told ourselves as smokers impossible to defend anymore.

Not a fan of the book (to say the least); I share that not at all to troll on the original post or supporters of Carr, but instead to speak to those who might read it and feel like maybe they're missing something or that there's something wrong with their quit.  It's not for everyone, and as long as you're not smoking you're doing great.  Lots of people have benefitted from the book, and I certainly respect its impact.

17+ Years Quit

I read it years ago and quit but failed quickly in that quit.

But still to this day retain some of the logic from the book. It is invaluable. I say read the book for sure. It will only help you. 

It wasn't a magic book for me but it did teach me a hell of a lot which is what quitting for good is all about.

I read it recently as someone gave me a copy as a gift.  Just like the forum take what you need and leave the rest.

I think there is a lot of good information in the book but here is the problem that I have with it.  In Chapter 1, he talks about his wife sending him to a hypnotherapist for his smoking.  After the session,  he lost his desire to smoke.  To quote, "not only did I stop smoking, but I actually enjoyed the process even during the withdrawal period."  So, it seems to me that he did not use his own "Easy Way" (which is not easy by the way...ha ha) to quit smoking.  Hypnosis is what worked for him.  I did somewhat benefit from reading the book but it is not the end all be all for me.

@Mona He didn't stop smoking when he saw the hypnotist. He said he smoked as soon as he left.

Not in my book!

Allen Carr finally stopped smoking on 15 July 1983, aged 48, after a visit to a hypnotherapist. However, it wasn't the hypnotherapy itself that enabled him to stop – "I succeeded in spite of and not because of that visit" and "I lit up the moment I left the clinic and made my way home...".

Hmmm...my version of the book does not include the "and I lit up the moment I left the clinic and made my way home".  He actually credits the hypnotist for saving his life.  Here is that section in my book:

 

"Now before you go rushing off to see a hypnotherapist, let me make something quite clear.  Hypnotherapy is a means of communication.  If the wrong message is communicated, you won't stop smoking.  i'm loathe to criticize the man whom I consulted because I would be dead by now if I hadn't seen him.  But it was in spite of him, not because of him.  Neither do I wish to appear to be knocking hypnotherapy; on the contrary, I use it as part of my own consultations.  It is the power of suggestion and a powerful force that can be used for good or evil.  Don't ever consult a hypnotherapist unless he or she has been personally recommended by someone you respect and trust."

Great book. I have the newer version, "Stop smoking now!" with a CD.  His logic is great for unraveling junkie thinking.  I highly recommend smokers add it to their quit arsenal.
