Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking
The book is the bestselling stop smoking book of all time worldwide – having sold tens of millions of copies in more than 40 languages.
The global bestseller was fully updated and upgraded recently, titled Allen Carr’s Easyway to Quit Smoking.
Both bestselling books are based on the original version of the method delivered via Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking Live Seminars and the upgraded version covers all kinds of issues that have arisen since the original book was published in 1985.
Live Seminars (now also available via Zoom) remain the most powerful and effective way of using the method (the books and online video programme were created to help smokers who didn’t have access to the live seminars).
Allen Carr’s Easyway method has been applied to many other addictions & issues leading to further bestselling books such as ‘Easyway to Stop Drinking’, ‘Easyway to Quit Emotional Eating’, ‘Good Sugar, Bad Sugar’, along with books dealing with vaping, gambling, cocaine, cannabis, caffeine, fear of flying, debt, tech addiction, mindfulness, and fear of flying.
