Yes, I recommend the book as well. Don't ask me why though. I tried quitting smoking many times using many different methods but always failed. On a whim I got the Alan Carr book and read it. I read it in bursts over a month or two. There was nothing interesting in there. Nothing I didn't already know. I finished it and quit smoking. The next day I relapsed and smoked again. I reread the last few chapters and quit again, this time using nicotine patches. I quit the patches within a day because they made me feel sick. I never smoked again. It's been 7-ish years and I haven't had any inclination to smoke again. It went from one of the hardest things to one of the easiest things to do. I don't care if people smoke around me, it doesn't bother me anymore. I still don't know why the book works, but it did for me.
