5.0 out of 5 stars How to Quit Smoking- no if, ands, or butts., Nov 23 2010

No need for a long review here. About the first three quarters of the book is spent exploding various myths and delusions about smoking (such as smoking relaxing you or getting rid of stress), which sets you up and gets you into the right frame of mind for actually quitting. At this point, the book wants you to continue smoking while you read it. In a nutshell, the easy way to stop smoking involves two things: one, deciding you are never going to smoke again, and two, don't mope about it anymore, rejoice. Sounds too simple, but after reading the first part of the book, this strategy will make more sense to you.

Lastly, the book cites two main reasons why you will fail: the influence of other smokers, and having a bad day. Having been around for 20 some years and being able to refine it with twenty years of feedback, I feel like this is one of the better books out there on non-smoking.

Also helpful: The Sixty-Second Motivator -short, to the point, and practical.

4.0 out of 5 stars It Works but...., Sep 21 2011

I read this book. I actually quit smoking. So I'm really happy about the result of this book. I believe this book should be one of the key that allowed everyone to escape from the cigarette dependence. But the main key is to want to quit.

The book actually is boring, repetitive and you feel that you are currently brainwashed while you read it. I guess is the writer technique to make sure you get properly the message. However is hard to read. But it works. Simple as that.

5.0 out of 5 stars It does work!, Oct 12 2010

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to stop smoking as the first option before trying any medication etc. A friend recommended this book, so I thought I'd give it a try and see what it was all about. It did sound too good to be true so I was very skeptical however as I read more it gave me a new perspective about myself as a smoker. I was a smoker for over 10 years, even though I was not a heavy smoker I could not go an entire day without at least smoking a couple of cigarettes. I haven't smoked in over 3 months and I never thought it could be this easy...seriously!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ONLY WAY to quit is the EASY WAY!
Many of the other reviewers have described how Allen Carr has structured the book (and even more so on amazon.com), so I won't rehash that side of the review. Read more
