The Only Way to Quit Smoking Permanently is a book that all smokers should read. Written by Allen Carr, who was a smoker for many years. It exposes the truths behind smoking and explains why people continue to smoke, even though they truly want to quit.
Allen Carr constantly refers to smoking as a “prison” that many smokers are not aware of. One of his aims prevalent throughout the book is to make readers aware of this smoking prison. By revealing to the reader, examples of how the smoking trap is designed and how our minds play against us, Allen Carr provides smokers with a sense of knowledge and empowerment. Through this empowerment and realization, smokers are given invaluable insight to help them quit and break free.
Mental power is another focal point. Allen Carr describes most of the process of quitting as mental and that actual physical withdrawal symptoms are minute.
By depicting, how are minds play tricks on us and how we as society view smoking, Allen allows the us to see why we “think” quitting is such a hard process, which in fact it is the opposite.
Other issues within the book are how to quit without a substitute, casual and women smokers, the myth of weight gain after quitting, correcting misconceptions of smoking and how Allen’s method can be used with other drug addictions.
The book contains many interesting and “eye opening” analogies and examples. Whilst allowing the reader to see smoking from different perspectives, these examples keep the reader entertained and turning the pages for more. Repetitious dialogue is used throughout the book, which is a tactic used by Allen Carr, in order to highlight his helpful and insightful messages. A great read for smokers.
