Editorial Review:

People often say, "I am not ready to quit smoking." This book gives you a step by step plan that will show you how to get ready to quit. Quitting smoking is like going into battle. With this plan in place you will be ready to win!

You will learn how to develop your will power and tap into an incredible source of "Self-Power." This plan shows you exactly what to do.

It is textbook format with ten brainstorming exercises you must do. People who smoke are often on "auto-pilot-thinking." This plan interupts the "auto-pilot" and shows you how to re-write the script.

It is true, you do not have to want to quit smoking but you do have to want to change something about how you make decisions. It is not complicated. As a matter of fact it is all very easy. By doing the exercises and following through with the plan you will "see" exactly what is holding you on to cigarettes. When you "see" what is keeping you addicted it becomes a whole lot easier to let go.

This book will show you how to eliminate 75% of the nicotine fits if not more.

When you are all done the "work" you will have made a one of a kind, custom made tool that will tell you what to think, when to think it, what to do and when. How to act and how not to act. You will use this tool when you open your "Last Pack."

This method tells why I do not recommend "Cold Turkey." You will know when the best time to quit is and how to use your last pack.

I often hear people say, "I have tried everything." My response is, "Have you looked in the mirror?"

The answers lie inside you, not in the drugstore. This book is about finding your inner strength. You can quit smoking! It is not impossible!

Some of the exercises can help you change other areas of your life you are not completely satisfied with.

My plan and method is about transforming your mind into one that will make empowering decisions. You will be empowered!

This is a serious subject with a twist of humor. I am sure you will enjoy it!

Do not be afraid of trying to quit smoking. Be afraid of what will happen if you do not! Be free! Go for it!

We use this book for all of our patients. They love the exercises and take them home and go over them again and again. This keeps them thinking about recovery. The book leaves no stone unturned. It has everything a problem gambler needs to stay in recovery.

This book keeps my patients sober. 5 out of 5 stars.

I have been using these exercises for years and they keep my patients sober. The patients take the book home and go over the material they learned in treatment. This keeps them sober. Most treatment centers use a collection of poor exercies they gathered over the years. Here are all of the great ones in one place. The text covers chemical use history, honesty, steps one through five, and relapse prevention. It's a Great Book!

Editorial Review:

Keystone Treatment Center, Canton, SD. Text is designed to help alcohol and drug abusers work through their addiction by completing a series of exercises to coincide with counseling sessions. Presents a step-by-step program and discusses relapse prevention and encourages establishing a personal recovery plan. Softcover.

If it doesn't work... 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

For the minority of people for which this book doesn't work: Please buy a copy of Allen Carr's The Only Way to Stop Smoking Permanently. I know of some people who have read "The Easy Way" a few times and it didn't work, then read "The Only Way" and it worked. Plus my brother had to read "The Only way" three or four times before it 'clicked'. (although around 80% of people only have to read one of the books just once) Please don't give up! Allen Carr's books are generally very very effective with the vast majority of people!

Thank God for Allen Carr and the Easy Way 5 out of 5 stars.

This is the most incredible book which has completely changed my life. I quit smoking almost effortlessly with the assistance of this plan. If you read this book and absorb what it says, you will easily throw away the cigarettes. I will never smoke again and if I ever get the urge, I will pull the book back out. I only wish I had discovered this years earlier.

Free at last!! 5 out of 5 stars.

UPDATE! I am still euphoric to be a non-smoker. Almost every time I take a deep breath, I giggle a little at the joy of being able to breathe so freely. I will keep updating every so often to reinforce the fact that THIS BOOK DOES WORK!!

I smoked for 12 years, for awhile smoking 2+ packs a day, then for the last year and a half smoked cigars. And I don't mean just puffing on them, but INHALING 6 to 7 every day. The minute I put this book down (January 3, 2007), the world was different for me. The sky was brighter, the air was sweeter and every day seemed to be just brimming over with potential. I knew it was because I was free. It is now 3 1/2 months later, and I am still riding that wave of euphoria. Now if I am around cigarette smoke too long instead of craving one (as with other methods) I get a bad headache.

So don't rush through the book! And don't skip to the back and read (obviously one of the reviewers here did and that is why the book didn't work for them). Debate every aspect of it with yourself, your spouse, your family and/or your friends. Let it be the valuable key to your tobacco prison--you have nothing to lose except your addiction to the "demon weed".

Editorial Review:

Who hasn't heard about the dangers of smoking, obesity, and substance abuse? But no matter how much you know in your heart that you shouldn't have that drink, smoke that cigarette, or eat that chocolate, you know just as well that you will. There is something powerful about a craving. It's not that we're poorly informed, it's that we can't stop ourselves. Our biology--our craving mechanism--has us standing before a firing squad, shouting, Come on already, shoot! Anyone who has been on a diet (or ten) or quit smokingagain and againknows how true this is. Yefim Shubentsov is changing all that. Shubentsov has no time for draconian measures or asceticism; life, he says, is meant to be enjoyed. His simple technique employs a new perspective on craving and a heavy dose of common sense mixed with a powerful new discovery: Bio Energy. The result of years of behind-the-iron-curtain research, Bio Energy is a force within each one of us that waits only to be stirred. By understanding your cravings and awakening your Bio Energy, the bonds of addiction are easily thrown off. Yefim Shubentsov is placing the power to cure your cravings right in your hands. In this book, he will reveal--for the first time--the effective methods he has used to help 90,000 people regain control of their lives. This strategy, the Shubentsov Solution, enables people to stop smoking, overeating, and craving--without patches, questionable drugs, or denial.

Editorial Review:

Kyle Keegan was like many teenagers: eager to fit in at school, he experimented with alcohol and drugs. Soon, his abuse of these substances surpassed experimentation and became a ruthless addiction to heroin that nearly destroyed his life.
Now in recovery, Keegan tells his remarkable story in Chasing the High. Starting with the early days of alcohol and drug use, Keegan charts his decline into crime and homelessness as his need for heroin surpassed all thoughts of family and friends, of right and wrong. He then goes on to use these experiences to offer guidance and practical advice to other young people who may be struggling with substance abuse. In straightforward, easy-to-understand language and along with the psychiatric expertise of Howard Moss, MD, Keegan discusses what is known about the neurobiology of addiction in young people, how to seek treatment, and how to get the most out of professional help. He also covers such topics as therapies which are used to combat addiction, how to talk to families and friends about substance abuse, and how to navigate risky situations. Both an absorbing memoir and a useful resource for young people.
Part of the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series of books written specifically for teens and young adults, Chasing the High offers hope to young people who are struggling with substance abuse, helping them to overcome its challenges and to go on to lead healthy, productive lives.

Editorial Review:

As a baby, Simon Gray discovered that he could move his carriage while still nestling inside it. "It was a complete mystery to the adult intelligences, how had he done it, if it was he who had done it, but if not he, who then and why? So the next afternoon they planted the pram in the usual spot, and stood over it, watching—the baby lay there smiling or snivelling up at them, until it struck them that they should try observing the baby when unobserved by the baby, and they withdrew behind bushes and trees; and thus witnessed the swaying of the pram, then the juddering of the pram, then its slow, unsteady progress along the path, the movement accompanied by a low humming and keening sound from within that reminded them more of a dog than a human . . . jouncing was the word they used for it. I was a jouncer therefore." In these hilarious chronicles of triumph and disaster, Gray intertwines scenes from his adult and his child self to produce a brilliant and moving counterpoint of life’s unsteady progress.

Editorial Review:

One of the first books written for hypnotherapists and NLP practitioners that is devoted entirely to the use of these techniques to help smokers quit their habit. Written by an experienced hypnotherapist, this book includes an overview of the nature of hypnotic transformation and the psychology of the smoker and then goes on to show why it is not enough to enable the smoker to stop during the sessions the therapist must also prepare the client for every situation in the real world to be able to stay a non-smoker for life.

Combining Ericksonian hypnotherapy and NLP with techniques taken from cognitive therapy, yoga and stress management, the book shows how to deal with every possible situation in smoking cessation. It shows how to influence the client before each session, how to deal with the client upon arrival to each session, and how to teach self-hypnosis and other techniques which will help maintain the client as a non-smoker after each session. Finally it provides a practical plan for marketing a hypnotherapy smoking cessation service at low cost but high impact. This book is an essential addition to every hypnotherapist's library and one which readers will refer to again and again in their therapeutic work. A free CD contains two verbatim case studies as well as client handouts that can be reproduced.

UNBELIEVABLE 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

If theres a book that changed my life, it is indeed this one ! Allen Carr has hit the jackpot i think. I could relate to the entire book and have been through what he has written.I WAS a smoker, and a chain one, might i add, like 25-30 cig. every day for over 13 years and have tried many ways to quit.None worked for more than 6 months. Besides being able to quit, this book has eradicated the thought of a smoke for nearly a year now. I dont even want to smoke when eveyrone around me is smoking, and THAT IS AN AMAZING FEELING.Anyone who wants to quit, read the book IN ONE SITTING. i started at 9am and finised by 12 midnight and it worked. so all the best to the would-be non smokers. WELCOME TO MY WORLD !

Very Practical and Very Convincing --- Great Companion Book! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

First off, I did quit using Mr. Carr's book and Auricular Therapy (see http://www.lc-stopsmoking.com). I haven't smoked in 47 days and I will not smoke ever again. The book is very methodical, practical, instructive, and entertaining. I was amazed to realize that I was smoking for the dumbest reasons. I especially enjoyed the fact that Mr. Carr teaches how to quit smoking by ensuring that we fully understand that it is an addiction. I started reading this book a few days before my Auricular therapy and I only completed reading it on 2/7/2006. If I ever feel tempted to smoke, I read this book. To me, this book is like the "Big Book" for AA folks. I plan to read this book many times over.

A must read for someone wanting to kick the smoking habit.

Best of Luck!

Editorial Review:

Our highly successful Stop Smoking Hypnosis Program consists of three stop smoking CDs.
Stop Smoking Hypnosis Motivation, guides you through a series of relaxation techniques and suggestions, which will decrease your desire and increase your motivation to quit smoking - simply by listening to this relaxing hypnosis CD as you drift to sleep.
At the end of this first week, you will listen to The Stop Smoking Hypnosis Session. This hypnosis session will gently guide you into a very deep state of relaxation. Once in this relaxed state, you are given a series of powerful suggestions that will permanently free you from any desire to smoke! You will only need to listen to this hypnosis session once, as you will be a Non-Smoker at the end of this session!
After becoming a Non-Smoker, you will begin listening to Forever Smoke Free! This hypnosis session will further reinforce and strengthen your commitment to remain permanently smoke free!
Why is "Forever Smoke Free!" so effective?
By creating direct access to the most powerful part of the mind, the subconscious, you can teach your subconscious mind to automatically act in the ways that best suit your goals, rather than relying on poor habits that you've built up over the years.
When you align what you consciously desire with your subconscious motivations...stopping smoking has never been easier!
Can everyone be hypnotized?
Yes. Have you ever been driving a familiar route home and suddenly arrived at your destination without remembering the last few minutes of the drive? This is one example of our subconscious mind taking over the routine details of life. Our subconscious mind handles most of our day to day activities. That is the subconscious mind's job - to handle the details of life, while our conscious mind handles the more important needs.
Most clients are amazed at how quickly they accomplish their desired results. Unlike traditional therapies, Hypnotherapy is able to help you reach your goals without going through years of self-exploration.
When You Are Ready!
Reach your goals faster than ever! You can and will make permanent, positive changes in your personal and professional life. Beverly Hills Hypnosis offers an effective, relaxing, drug-free choice for change.
