Product Description

From the book's introduction:

Hello. I’m Eldon Sarte, online publisher of sites like Wordpreneur.com, author (Wordpreneur Reloaded, GolfIncome: eBay, etc.) and, probably of most importance to you, formerly a 25-year pack-a-day smoker...

If you suspect that I really enjoyed smoking cigarettes, that I miss them, and if they weren’t dangerous I’d go right back to using them again… you bet your cigarette lighter that’s all true!

Which is what makes this book a bit different: I’m no militant anti-smoking activist. Nor am I a health nut. Assuming you’re an adult, I figure you can make up your own mind and do whatever you want to do. If that happens to be to continue smoking cigarettes, knock yourself out. It’s your call. Better than even odds, though, that you’re at least thinking about quitting, which is why you’re reading this, right?

So why I think there may be a need for this book?

Well, fact is, I didn’t find the quitting experience all that difficult. Period. I didn’t say it was instant, but neither did it take all that long. Now if someone like me who by no stretch of the imagination can be called a short-term, light smoker; who fondly remembers the habit and would gladly pick it up again if the planets line up a certain way; and who had absolutely no direct personal health issues pressuring me to quit… if someone like me can quit without much difficulty, maybe learning how I did it can be helpful to your efforts as well, don’t you think?

Besides, I figure a straight talk, no agenda book may do better with the communication thing. As a smoker, I find many of the other “quit smoking” resources too preachy, alarmist, scary, emo, touchy-feely, militant… just plain uncomfortable and a turn-off. With this book, however, I’ll just tell you what I did and why I think it worked (and has worked for years… I didn’t just quit yesterday!), and maybe, just maybe, you’ll find it helpful to your objective.

Worth a try, eh?

Doesn't even look like that other reviewer even bothered to read this book beyond going over the table of contents and skimming. Lazy, since this is a quick and easy and very informative read. That other reviewer looks like she or he gave a whole bunch of other books 1-star ratings at about the same time - just goes to show how little you can trust these reviews when someone is hell-bent on spreading misery, fairly or not.

Back to this book. I quit years ago, but I'm familiar with this author's posts on a forum I monitor and he's very sharp. I saw that this was free one day, so I got it for my kindle reader for later reading when just passing time. Now I wish I had this guide back when I quit! Quitting was tough for me, but reading this book's advice just makes loads of sense, with no trickery or gimmicks, just using tools available to most of us. to that other reviewer: It's the APPROACH and TECHNIQUE and MINDESET detailed in this book that counts, grumpuss, not the tools which you seem to unfairly fixate on. Some people.

You want to quit, this book is what you buy.

Buy Nicorette January 3, 2012

Seriously, the book is an ode to Nicorette patches, chewing gum, lozenges. ... Nothing really new, he writes about the health effects of smoking and why anyone should quit.

More About the Author

Father, writer, publisher (papa comes first!). 20+ years in the publishing industry -- after being a peon at The New Republic magazine and then managing editor of Friends of Wine magazine in the late 80s-early 90s, I went rogue and started independently developing and authoring I.T. and computer programming courseware. Active for a number of years then in the local education and computer user communities, I served as editor-in-chief of both the award-winning CPCUG Monitor monthly magazine and the widely distributed DC-area Computer Digest monthly tabloid.

An early adopter of the "public Internet," I started writing and publishing the popular e-Factory NewsDesk daily ezine, later acquired by Internet startup Intellectua.com in the late-90s, renaming it The Dirtsmart Netpreneur. Intellectua also brought me on as its new CIO. While at Intellectua, I authored the company's .COMstruction: The Basics flagship commercial ebook, and edited and designed its extensive product line of instant download ebooks, including the popular Dream Jobs To Go series of career guides.

Currently, I write both the Wordpreneur.com and Braintropolis.com blogs, and hard at work developing books and other publishing projects.

And I'm a dad!
