I was very suspicious as I have tried many ways and followed many other books and videos..
Once it gets your attention you get to open your mind to debate your addiction.
I will definitely recommend it to anyone ready to make one of the biggest steps in their lives.

Wow, it actually works, So glad I quit.

After reading this book my point of view has been broadened and I’ve finally understood that I was addicted. This book helped me to understand the brainwashing which stand behind cigarettes and their effect on false thinking. This book leveraged to understand other addiction mechanisms too like alcoholism or heroin abuse but 95% of the content relate to cigarettes. Wish everyone to escape from this terrible addiction.

The method perfectly works!

I’ll keep this short. I’ve been wanting to stop smoking for the entire time I’ve been smoking and this is the only approach that’s filled me with optimism and positivity at the point I’ve had my last cigarette.

If you don’t want to smoke this will be the best buy of your entire life.

Maybe the most important book ever heard or read

First, see if this is familiar to your circumstance as well:
I have been smoking for the last 17 years, since I was 13. Until I was 18 it was just 3 cigarettes a day at most - Not out of a desire to restrict it, so much as not having the free time and space to smoke, as well as a general lack of urge to. Sometimes at parties I'd smoke more, but anywhere close to 10 and I'd feel sick to my stomach. Once I finished highschool though, I had reached a point that I could chainsmoke a full pack in just under 2 hours.
I didn't like it, and it made me turn away from regular cigarettes and towards rolling tobacco. Incorporating the act of rolling into the ritual. I had also convinced myself that this way I'll smoke less, because smoking will require a lot more preparation time.

But then I got better at it, and from getting the supplies out to putting the cigarette out can take as little as 4 minutes for me.
I have also suffered from depression. For a very long time. It was what had convinced me to start smoking to begin with - The belief that it'll make the burdens (as great as the burdens of a 13 year old are) easier, as they do for my parents who were both smokers. And I had always had a very analytical approach to my mental state. I researched it all and analyzed it from top to bottom and became the foremost expert on the subject of my mind. And when I had tried therapy... Everything the therapist suggested felt like something I had come up with before and tried before and failed before. No matter. Just not the right therapist for me. So I tried again. And again. And again. And time and time again I managed to talk my way out of receiving help. Believing that maybe my situation is too unique. Or maybe my therapists are just not smart enough.

It wasn't until I realized what I was doing that I managed to get therapy to work by truly surrendering to it and giving a shot. So what if the advice is familiar. So what if when I tried it alone, it failed. I gave it a shot anyway and in the end it worked, and I have been happier for years, free of many things that bothered me for about a decade.

If any of this is familiar - Especially the "I know my issue better than anyone I accepted help from and managed to talk my way out of their help" part - Consider that mentality towards this book, as well.

Time will tell if this book will have helped me truly or not. It is at times rather preachy. At times very proud of itself and the institution it comes from. And while I appreciate its use of logic, almost every time it was displayed I had found several reasons and ways to refute it. And from some of the lower ratings - I'm not alone in this.

So for you I would share a question that I had asked myself both before and during this book - "Why disprove the logic?"
If you assume the logic is sound (it more or less is sound enough), and come to the book from a place of accepting its lessons and logical suggestions, then it should, at least in its own theory, work.
If you refuse the logic, because you find a different logical framework that refutes the one presented, it won't.
But logic isn't something absolute - Ultimately what logic is is "How do I get from A to B? What are the steps and how does one lead to the next?"

Surely, if you can rationalize anything - including rejecting something that is demonstrably good for you (like therapy, or to quit smoking) - You can just as easily rationalize how the book does indeed work, and make it work.

For those of you that are as overanalytical and overrationalizing as I am and as I was:
If you can't work with this book, it will waste your time. If you can work with this book, it will not.
For "most people" it may work because they are less overanalytical, but I think that more people who come to this book to begin with already come from a place of "I want this to work."
And whether you use Alan Carr's method, or this revised book, or the seminars, or something completely different, wanting it to work is a huge part of it, just as it is for any recovery program, or any matter of mental health.

Good luck to all of us who wish to stop smoking.

If you are as overanalytical as I am...
