The Easy Way To Stop Smoking, by Alan Carr.
Very logically made me realise that willpower was really just about changing how you talk to yourself. Essentially learning impulse control.
I lost a deadly, expensive habit and a fair bit of weight. Clean for 6 years.

- fabiandesimone 8y agoThis book is great. 10 years going.
- Xplosiveoctopus 8y agoGreat book. It was the fourth or third book I had read in my life up until that point. I read it and realized that in order for me to quit smoking, I had to quit drinking(I was around 19 at the time and a heavy drinker), and in order to do that I needed to change/get away from the circle of friends at the time. That day, after finishing the book the decisions were obvious and I did exactly what needed to be done. It was like: 1,2,3 done. I did it! I quit drinking for 1,5 years. Moved to a different tow, to get away from all my friends at that time. Started reading books like mad, because I realized that the info in a book can substantially change my life. I’m 30 now. I’ve been free from smoking for more than 10 years. Reading books has led me into having a well paid(by the standards of my country) job in SEO/digital marketing. I have not started, nor finished uni. I think I need to re-read it, because I’d like to kick my habit of drinking and a few other bad habits. I could not recommend it enough.
