Unlike anything I have ever read or heard about quitting

I bought this book and told myself I wasn’t committing to quitting yet or to anything other than reading a book. It is very easy and quick to read. It’s written in an informal conversational tone that makes it very easy to get through and in a style that keeps you engaged and wanting to keep reading. It is unlike…

★☆☆☆☆
Not Convinced

The short version of this book is they try to convince you that "No one could possibly enjoy anything about smoking ever". I didn't find it helpful at all. Its a hard read, you keep waiting for them to get to the point and they never do.

Love this book!

Really works IF you follow all directions exactly. I quit for over a year using the original book, then made the mistake of falling back into the trap in a social situation. So I bought this one more specific to vaping. It has now been officially two weeks and let me tell you the struggle is not real. I’ve had an easy…

READ BEFORE BUYING

If you struggle with mental illness/are not neuro typical, please know that this book is not an end all be all. The statistics are not accurate so if it doesn’t work, it’s not that there’s something wrong with you. Allen Carr uses hypnotherapy in this book and while that works for some people, it does not work for…

It works if you really want to quit

I turned 70 and decided to quit smoking after 56 years. My doctor told me about this book. There was so much I didn't know about smoking, nicotine, and myself - but this book reveals it all. Thanks to Allen Carr and his successors, I am a nonsmoker. This book DOES work if you really want to quit, for whatever reason,…

Gary has been instrumental in my understanding of what porn is doing to both old and young men and women in today's world. This book shows quite convincingly how porn use contributes or causes erectile dysfunction in men, and sexual problems in women. Chapter 1 is very important reading. It provides the foundation…

Biased and Pseudoscience

Buying this book, I felt deceived that this book came in with a viewpoint that porn addiction is plaguing American society. When I read a social science type book, I expect it to be balanced, thoughtful, and attempt to be inclusive. This book did not do that. It is not sex positive or able to handle the various…

This book instantly, completely, and permanently cured my addiction to cigarettes!

TLDR: I had never before tried to quit. I didn't know if I even wanted to quit. I thought the title sounded so cheesy & couldn't be legit, but I gave it a try. I read it. It worked 100% – I stopped smoking within hours of finishing the book, have been smoke-free ever since (9 months) and will never smoke again in my…

Why so many five star ratings?!

It baffles me that so many people have given this book a five star rating. While the author does provide some good advice here and there (keep a positive attitude about quitting, cutting back will make you want to smoke more, etc.), it's not nearly enough to offset the rest of his assanine argument, which makes up…

It really works when the teachings are able to sink it. I first got this book in May of 2023 because at that time, after trying to stop drinking for years, my cousin died out the blue from cirrhosis and my whole want and taste for alcohol left my body and mind. I quit immediately and have not ever craved again after…

2nd Update: OVER A YEAR! STILL FREE! NO RELAPSE. I am free for life because of this book! Update: 5 months - still free - feels like a year since I've vaped because I don't think about it and I don’t miss it. Seems like a distant memory, one that I wish I never started.

No such thing as a good way to split up

How to deal with an ended or ending relationship, this is a book on being a walk away spouse or being a walked away from by a spouse. It is helpful, but no contact is a miserable way to end a relationship. Weather you walked away or were walked away from, no contact will(can) keep you from looking back on possibly…

This book will hold you back from healing.

I honestly feel like there is an underlying message here, that can seems to take away from the recovery of the individual going through the pain of break up. That is, there is hope for the relationship. One example is, “ How to make him miss you”. I purchased this book, as my partner of 6 years ended our…
