This book was a humorous approach to quitting smoking, written by a former heavy smoker. He discusses an Easyway to quit smoking, and explains that quitting smoking doesn't have to be difficult. Wait, what? Everybody says it's the worst thing you could go through, harder than raising a child, getting that great job, paying off a mortgage, or finding your perfect spouse. But Allen Carr says it isn't. Why? His explanation makes a lot of sense. I actually quit prior to reading the book but reading it helped me stay motivated. Interestingly enough, the book suggests you continue smoking while reading it and quit after you finish so you get the most use out of all the tips and tricks. It is a cold turkey method but I think the information can be easily applied to any method one uses. I purchased it originally for my wife who is having a harder time of it than I am, but she has not read the book or quit smoking yet, so I can't vouch for the efficacy of the method by itself personally. However, I have read all over the internet that many millions of people have successfully quit smoking using the Easyway. If you purchase the book used, it's super cheap, so what have you got to lose besides a habit that causes a lot of problems in your life? It's been 26 days smoke free for me and I'm very happy. The main lesson you learn in the book is "You don't gain anything in your life by smoking. Not smoking gives your your life back." Good luck!Read full review

I have used this book and have given it as a gift. My daughter and I, and now a close friend have all stopped smoking using this book. I gave the book as a gift to 2 other people, but they didn't read it. They continue to smoke. I stopped smoking about 10 years ago and figure that I have saved about $20,000 ($2,000 per year). I'm writing this review from a cruise ship in Genoa, Italy. Much rather be cruising than smoking!

It’s been a little over 2 weeks since I read the book and smoked my last cigarette. Allen Carr really hits home, speaking the language of a smoker. Not fully understanding the nicotine addiction and brainwashing involved with smoking made it so difficult to quit in the past. This time it seems like no sweat at all. Cravings didn’t even feel like previous cravings. Just a slight discomfort but nothing more.
