The Easy Way to Stop Smoking
Allen Carr's account of the method he devised to quit smoking, drawn from his own experience of stopping after decades as a heavy smoker. Rather than relying on willpower or gradual reduction, he argues that smoking is a trap sustained mostly by fear and misunderstanding, and he works to dismantle a smoker's reasons for lighting up one by one. The tone is conversational and deliberately repetitive. It launched the Easyway approach that Carr went on to build into clinics and further books. A short, argument-driven read aimed squarely at people who want to stop.
