A must-read for even the non-smoker,
This review is from: Stop Smoking for the Last Time: You Can Unlock the Power to Quit Struggle-Free (Perfect Paperback)
I just finished reading George Wissing's new book, Stop Smoking for the Last Time. WOW! What a breath of fresh air. As a physician and surgeon, I had never heard of anything like this before. It truly shed new light on a common problem that I as a doctor have to deal with on a daily basis. I'm not a smoker, but reading this book gave me so much insight into the mind of the smoker, and even more reason to be kind, patient, and understanding of their true "addiction", which Mr. Wissing states is not due to nicotine. He makes some convincing arguments that it's not so much a chemical dependency that's keeping you addicted, but more of an emotional one that leads to a Pavlovian "habit." His concept of smoking as a form of deep breathing and meditation was what really gave me an "ah-ha" moment for me.
Even if you don't smoke, or if you have other "habits" such as an eating problem, this book's basic concepts can be applied to almost any of life's problem areas. I've already started implementing some of his recommendations into my life, and I'm already beginning to feel better. Steven Y. Park, M.D. Author or forthcoming book, Sleep, Interrupted: A physician reveals the #1 reason why so many of us are sick and tired.

Must Have If You Want To Quit,
This review is from: Stop Smoking for the Last Time: You Can Unlock the Power to Quit Struggle-Free (Perfect Paperback)
This book is a must have if you're sincere about quitting smoking. I spent a long time trying to quit unsuccessfully. George's book gave me an in depth understanding of the roadblocks I had created for myself. George's book then armed me with the mental tools I needed to overcome my habit. I did the online session (1/2 hour) and have not smoked since! My withdrawl symptoms were minimal. Thanks George!

This book truly changed my life. I no longer have the urge to smoke and this book put me on the path to living a more healthy lifestyle. Not to mention, all the money I save from no longer needing to purchase my cancer sticks. Thank you Mr. Wissing!
