Product Description
People often say, "I am not ready to quit smoking." This book gives you a step by step plan that will show you how to get ready to quit. Quitting smoking is like going into battle. With this plan in place you will be ready to win!

You will learn how to develop your will power and tap into an incredible source of "Self-Power." This plan shows you exactly what to do.

It is textbook format with ten brainstorming exercises you must do. People who smoke are often on "auto-pilot-thinking." This plan interupts the "auto-pilot" and shows you how to re-write the script.

It is true, you do not have to want to quit smoking but you do have to want to change something about how you make decisions. It is not complicated. As a matter of fact it is all very easy. By doing the exercises and following through with the plan you will "see" exactly what is holding you on to cigarettes. When you "see" what is keeping you addicted it becomes a whole lot easier to let go.

This book will show you how to eliminate 75% of the nicotine fits if not more.

When you are all done the "work" you will have made a one of a kind, custom made tool that will tell you what to think, when to think it, what to do and when. How to act and how not to act. You will use this tool when you open your "Last Pack."

This method tells why I do not recommend "Cold Turkey." You will know when the best time to quit is and how to use your last pack.

I often hear people say, "I have tried everything." My response is, "Have you looked in the mirror?"

The answers lie inside you, not in the drugstore. This book is about finding your inner strength. You can quit smoking! It is not impossible!

Some of the exercises can help you change other areas of your life you are not completely satisfied with.

My plan and method is about transforming your mind into one that will make empowering decisions. You will be empowered!

This is a serious subject with a twist of humor. I am sure you will enjoy it!

Do not be afraid of trying to quit smoking. Be afraid of what will happen if you do not! Be free! Go for it!

About the Author
I was born in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada in 1963. I can admit I started smoking very young as I had low self-esteem. I was like many young girls who sought out approval from my peers. I guess you could call that "peer pressure."

At 26 I found the book "Self Esteem" by Patrick Fanning and McKay. Having found a solid foundation for self-esteem gave me the courage to produce my plan and method.

Beyond grade twelve, I am self-educated. I started my home studying at the age of eighteen. My main purpose was to overcome a severe case of shyness. I did do just that! Eighteen years later and many books under my belt, I do public speaking. This book is also an eight-hour seminar that I teach in a high-energy group setting. My combined knowlege is in the field of human behavior. In the future I would like to teach self-esteem.

I have a lot to say about a lot of things, but mostly I wish for a smoke free world, and for you to find the courage to dream and make all your goals come true.

I hope even if you don't want to quit smoking now, realize there is something in my program that shows you how to change your mind.

If I can do it...so can you!

Best wishes, Barbara

5.0 out of 5 stars It Helped A Lot., December 14, 2007

By	Katherine E. Zuckerman "AN INJURY TO ONE IS A... (Boise, ID) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I almost hate to review this book because it will publicly link my name with smoking. It is worth it, though, because this review may help someone else to ditch cigarettes. I thought I needed all the help I could get to stop smoking. I liked the approach this author has and I still refer to this book. It has a no nonsense approach that appealed to me and works well into the process of stopping smoking. I recommend this book to anyone who is considering breaking their smoking habit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too many errors, June 24, 2009

By	Chris Fowler (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book needs some serious editing. I couldn't get past the numerous grammatical errors in the introduction and first chapter to finish the book. I don't expect perfection, but there were numerous cases where the author didn't know the difference between different forms of words ("they're", "there", and "their", for example) and repeated the same mistake over and over.
