Cleaning out the spare room yesterday where most of our books end up and I saw an old copy of Allen Carr 's 'Easyway to stop smoking ' book.
I struggled for ages to quit smoking, and a mate recommended I read it. For some reason I didn't, and struggled on with patches , gum, willpower etc. I think I had a ' well if I can't do it through willpower, how the bloody hell is a book going to help me' attitude.
Gave in eventually and read it. Did the trick instantly and never looked back. No withdrawal pangs, no cravings. Felt like I'd never been a smoker. An amazingly simple and short book that really did change me for the better. That was probably about ten years ago .
Wondered if anyone else has had similar experiences with others books in other areas that have drastically changed your way of looking at life, improved yourself...
