At last a book that opens the cage door!
Thank you Dr Max Pemberton, you have truly opened my eyes to the real psychological processes behind the illusion of smoking. I've read many books on the subject but the way you have challenged my thinking has provided the switch I have been looking for.
If you are keen to free yourself from smoking, do not hesitate to buy this book.

This book was presented to me at the book corner in a communal kitchen when I worked on a farm in South Australia together with another 100 employees including a whole bunch of fun backpackers. This was in the end of '18 beginning '19
It intrigued me from the beginning and I read it completely in my spare time and on my off days. It shows that I was already interested in psychology then.
Right now I can't review too many points of it, because it has been too long ago, but I would say it was well structured and I definetly enjoyed reading it.

The best book to help you become a non-smoker
This book is brilliant! I have read EVERYTHING over the years to assist in helping me get out of the trap of smoking. I knew I relied heavily on it due to emotional associations and the exercises in the book really delved into why I felt smoking actually ‘helped’ me deal with different emotions/situations etc. Now, I finally feel free as I know that it has an never will do absolutely anything for me. A must read.

While it is insightful, easy to understand and even funny in spurts, it can get very repetitive and it almost feels like the same point is being badgered incessantly. However, perhaps the smokers need that kind of reinforcement and hence, it is necessary. On the whole, liked it for its clarity and the breadth of cognitive distortions and errors that it deals with.

Nothing new
The book itself is easy to read ,but for me personally it is much the same as reading books by Allen Carr.
