More About the Author

Allen Carr was an accountant and smoked 100 cigarettes a day until he gave up and wrote this bestselling book. He has built a hugely successful network of stop-smoking clinics across the world and is the author of "The Only Way to Stop Smoking," "How to Stop Your Child Smoking," "The Easy Way to Enjoy Flying" and "The Easyweigh to Lose Weight." In 2004 Allen published his bestselling autobiography "Packing It In" (Michael Joseph). He was diagnosed with lung cancer in the summer of 2006 and died in November of the same year. It seems likely that the years he spent curing smokers in smoke-filled sessions at his clinics must have contributed to this illness, but Allen Carr remained positive; 'Given that I am informed that I have cured at least 10 million smokers on a conservative estimation, it's a price worth paying.'

This review is from: Allen Carr's Easy Way to Control Alcohol (Paperback)

Struggling with too much and too often excess booze I have tried everything I could find: bought most of Amazon books on the subject, talked with AA, psychiatrists, took medicines et after each step getting more and more depress and feeling ashamed and useless. Then I read Allen Carr's book, thinking deep inside that it would be another usual book giving your advices, orders, telling you terribles stories in one word very negative. But I really found this time something to rely on. I found myself in those pages and the way I was dealing wrongly with life, stress and booze. This is the ONLY book to buy if you are concern about your drinking and sincerely want to do something about it. This writer is a bit of a magician !!!!....... but still very realistic and straight to the point. Buy it, not tomorrow or next week... buy it NOW and read it ASAP. It will save your life !.... it saved mine and gave me back MY freedom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't it be great to be free?, January 22, 2004

This review is from: Allen Carr's Easy Way to Control Alcohol (Paperback)

I've always been a heavy 'casual' drinker and I've tried to cut back using the willpower method before. It definitely does not work and who wants to be miserable for the rest of their lives trying it? I quit after reading this book and even watching my husband have wine or beer in the evenings does not bother me. THANK-YOU ALLEN CARR!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helped me change my life!, January 28, 2007

This review is from: Allen Carr's Easy Way to Control Alcohol (Paperback)

Last year, I searched Amazon for a book that might give me some advice/support on ways to help me control my intake of alcohol. I'd been a heavy drinker for nearly 35 years. I had no intent of quitting drinking when I bought the book. I read the reviews and had mixed feelings.

But, I will tell you that if you have any concern about how much you drink, if you have guilts or regrets over what you have done or said while you were drinking, and if you can read Allen's book with an open mind and a desire to improve yourself, I am convinced it will change your life starting the day you finish the book!!!

I'm a tough [...] and people consider me a man's man. But, I will tell you that I cried tears of joy when I finished Allen's book! Don't let yourself be swayed by Gertrude's review of this book. And, I won't tell you the secret of Allen's teaching.

Buy it! It is a tiny price for the value it will bring to your life. Be open minded and sober when you read it. I am a much better man, father, husband, professional... all because of this book. Do yourself and those around you a favor. Give it a read!
