Editorial Review

Have you been trying and failing to quit smoking? Are you tired of guilt trips, doom and naysayers, or other techniques focused on negative energy? Look no further.

This astounding self-help title by Allen Carr looks at quitting smoking from a whole new angle. A unique and effective technique, it is both simple and straightforward. He never makes you feel bad, or addresses problems judgmentally, but rather walks alongside you as you journey through your own path to quitting smoking. Carr is both bold and direct in his claims, boasting millions of successful non-smokers among his listeners. Through the course of this listen, you too can be one of the many happier, healthier individuals that have willingly decided to quit smoking (and remain nonsmokers).

Duncan Wells narrates with a clear and direct tone and is concise, but friendly. Offering direct advice, without being patronizing, he leads listeners down the same road he himself took to quit. It is these clear, short directions delivered with a calm and instructional tone that help the listener to feel that they can do it too. They are not alone in the struggle to quit, and Wells guides them without judgement or reproach.

Critics and listeners alike rave about the successes of The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. From the New York Times to happy listeners everywhere, Carr’s approach is a proven success. Speaking from his own personal journey from chain smoker to nonsmoker, he is a writer who truly believes in his methods. His completely different approach brings something new and fresh to the table, and listeners everywhere are thrilled with the results.

I'm a Non-smoker, now.

I wanted to be mad at audible for preassigning a review on my behalf, but this is spot on:

I got to say that Allen Carr was a brilliant man and his way of seeing the filthy habit purely makes sense and just helped me realize how I was falling for it. Try this book out, it won't leave you disappointed!

In my own words, I got six chapters in and couldn't even be bothered to smoke anymore. I'm sure that 90% of others that have listened or read this think the same thing. But he puts the addiction into such a gorgeous light that it's nearly impossible to ignore the fact we tend to know exactly what we're doing, we just aren't educated about it enough to help us figure out what's going on. This man would have done wonders working in the schools, making a mandatory class about this would save so many from an early mistake of even starting the habit.

I'm 3 weeks a Non-smoker, and havent had a single one since chapter 6. I love it, I feel amazing, my energy is through the roof and I feel fantastic. Withdrawals didnt feel to exist, I literally enjoyed the "withdrawal symptoms" as they helped me realize I was healing and restoring my control on my life.

wanting to stay a non smoker

I still get cravings once in awhile when I'm frustrated and typically I would cave and go out and buy a pack but this audiobook stops me from wanting to smoke and it feels great to deal with frustrations cigarette free.

I Will Never Smoke Again

Wow. I have been a smoker for 22 years, and after listening to this audiobook, I know I will never smoke again. Allan Carr gives it to you straight. He doesn’t use scare tactics or lectures. He simply teaches you how to remove the brainwashing that keeps you smoking. Better than any patch or pill, this program really does make it easy to quit smoking.

Great!

By the time you are finished listening to Allen Carr you'll believe that cigarettes addiction is the silliest thing ever. Really works!
