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.

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.

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 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.

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."

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
