The most effective techniques to stop smoking are those used in conjunction with personalized programs--those that stress each individual's particular smoking history. Gebhardt's seven-step program is presented in a non-judgmental and lighthearted manner and has been proven successful in seminars conducted by the author in numerous venues, including the American Cancer Society.

FINALLY NO GUILT,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Enlightened Smoker's Guide to Quitting (Paperback)
Jack has a lot of credentials to his name. He has his own school for those trying to quit smoking as well as years of studying under the government and private agencies. I had a wonderful time learning how to "Forget to smoke. Jack teaches you how to stop the cycle of guilt in the quitting process and how to stop trying to quit and simply forget! His 7 step program worked for me better than all of the programs from the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association because they use slight scare tactics to accomplish quitting. Well worth the money!

A new way of life!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Enlightened Smoker's Guide to Quitting (Paperback)
I have searched for a long, long, long, long, long (need I go on?) time for a way to stop smoking and have finally found it! Gebhardt's book focuses on ways to change your thinking - not only about smoking but about the zillion other things we all have in our life. He recognises that all smokers berate themselves day after day about their smoking and asks the question: Has this negativity ever helped you to quit? Step by step, he helps his readers bring more joy into their thoughts and this, seamlessly, brings more joy into their smoking. Paradoxically, by feeling joy when smoking, we are able to "forget" how to smoke. Suddenly quitting seems like a fun and graceful next move. I would recommend this book to anyone who is able to open their heart to feeling joy. If you're steeped in logic and cynicism then even you might like to give it a try. However, if you're already on the way to letting spirituality into your life then get this book and watch a controlling addiction slip away gently.
