Product Description
Allen Carr’s international bellseller, The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, has sold more than six million copies worldwide and helped to turn countless smokers into nonsmokers.
The Little Book of Quitting crystallizes 120 key points of the Easyway™ method in a concise and readily accessible format. Carr’s method can enable any smoker to quit easily, painlessly, and permanently without needing willpower, suffering withdrawal pangs, feeling deprived, or gaining weight. This is the perfect pocket refresher for those already applying Allen Carr’s method, and a great starting point for all those who want to quit the Easyway™.
Allen Carr discovered the Easyway™ tostop smoking in 1983—after his three-decade-long, 100-cigarette-a-day addiction had driven him to despair. First published in 1985, The Easy Way to Stop Smoking has sold over six million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than twenty languages. In addition to his books, Allen has established the Allen Carr clinics, now operating in countries around the world.

Editorial Reviews
About the Author
Allen Carr was an accountant and smoked 100 cigarettes a day until he gave up and wrote this bestselling book. He built a hugely successful network of stop-smoking clinics across the world and is the author of The Only Way to Stop Smoking, How to Stop Your Child Smoking, The Easy Way to Enjoy Flying and The Easyweigh to Lose Weight. In 2004 Allen published his bestselling autobiography Packing It In (Michael Joseph). He was diagnosed with lung cancer in the summer of 2006 and died in November of the same year. It seems likely that the years he spent curing smokers in smoke-filled sessions at his clinics must have contributed to this illness, but Allen Carr remained positive; 'Given that I am informed that I have cured at least 10 million smokers on a conservative estimation, it's a price worth paying.'
Customer Reviews
I just don't want to pick them up anymore
I read this book before going to sleep, it's very short, quite sharp and works a treat!!!
This book gets right into your psychi about why you keep picking them up and putting them in your mouth. It then destroys all those beliefs that we all do in fact know are lies anyway.
If you know it's time to stop (then you're probably right) and are struggling with will-power, stop fighting it, let the words do their thing and wake up realising you never actually wanted to smoke in the first place.
Thanks Allen, I'm no longer a slave!!!
The best money I've ever spent.
I appreciate that most people are understandably skeptical of anonymous online reviews. If you're one of those, Google this book and find the video clips of credible and/or celebrity folks giving a ringing endorsement. Here's mine.
I have literally not had a single cigarette since I read this book. In fact, as I started to read it, I told myself that I would finish the pack I had just bought and then try to stop smoking for a week or so. Then, as I neared the end of the book, I threw the pack away. I was literally anxious to become a non-smoker. I know that sounds overly dramatic, but it's the absolute truth (and why I was moved to write a review). The six dollars I spent on this book was very probably the best money I've ever spent.
Frankly, as I type this, I wish I were a better writer. I wish that I could figure out how to convey absolute endorsement of this book without sounding grand or generic or like every other advertisement.
Here is the best endorsement I can muster: This book is one of my most prized possessions. If you want to become a non-smoker, buy it right now.
A great reminder
I quit drinking Coke last fall. I actually did it after reading the EasyWay book on quitting smoking (even though I don't smoke) - but this little book is the one I pick up every few weeks to remind me how and why to keep quitting. A very rational approach.
