About the author
Allen Carr
383 books289 followersAllen Carr was a British author and the founder of the global Allen Carr’s Easyway method, renowned for helping millions overcome smoking and other addictions. Born in Putney, London in 1934, Carr began smoking at 18 during National Service and struggled with the habit for over three decades. A qualified accountant, he finally quit in 1983 following a revelatory visit to a hypnotherapist. The experience didn’t directly cause him to quit, but it led to two key insights: that smoking was simply a form of nicotine addiction, and that withdrawal symptoms were minor and psychological in nature. These revelations inspired Carr to develop a revolutionary approach to quitting, one that did not rely on willpower, scare tactics, or substitution therapies.
Carr’s philosophy centered on removing the smoker’s fear of giving up. He argued that smoking merely relieves withdrawal symptoms from the previous cigarette, and that the supposed satisfaction gained is merely a return to the non-smoker’s normal state. Through live seminars, books, and multimedia resources, the Easyway method encourages smokers to continue smoking while they reframe their beliefs, ultimately extinguishing their final cigarette with clarity and confidence.
In 1985, Carr published The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, which became a bestseller and was translated into more than 45 languages. The success of his London clinic led to the establishment of over 100 Easyway centers in 35 countries, offering seminars to treat smoking, alcohol dependency, sugar addiction, and even fear of flying. His method’s credibility was bolstered by independent clinical trials, including studies in Ireland and the UK which found it as effective—if not more so—than standard cessation methods. This led to its adoption by NHS-approved services in England.
A key element of the Easyway clinics is that all facilitators are former addicts who successfully quit using the method themselves. They must complete extensive training and become licensed members of the Association of Allen Carr Therapists International.
Throughout his career, Carr also co-authored a wide range of Easyway books addressing various addictions and behavioral issues, often collaborating with Robin Hayley and John C. Dicey, the current Chairman and Global CEO of Allen Carr’s Easyway. Dicey, whom Carr mentored, continues to lead the organization’s development and public outreach.
Carr died of lung cancer in 2006 at age 72, though he had not smoked for 23 years. He attributed his illness to second-hand smoke exposure during seminars. Before his death, he remained committed to his mission, challenging governmental ties to nicotine replacement industries and advocating for wider access to his method.
Carr’s legacy continues through his clinics, books, and online programs, which have reached over 50 million people worldwide. His message remains consistent: quitting is not a sacrifice—it’s liberation.

Nach ca. 190 Seiten habe ich das Buch abgebrochen. Allen Carr schreibt von der "Gehirnwäsche" der Lebensmittelindustrie, beim Lesen habe ich aber das Gefühl, dass er dem Leser eine Gehirnwäsche verpassen will. Er betont zwar die ganze Zeit, dass man essen kann was man möchte, versucht aber dem Leser einzureden, dass man nur noch Obst und Gemüse essen möchte. Fleisch ist böse, Zucker ist böse, Milch und Milchprodukte sind sehr böse, und selbst kochen/braten/garen ist böse.
Seine Lösung für das Gewichtsproblem ist also im Grunde Rohkost.
Bei aller Liebe und bei allem Interesse an gesunder Ernährung, aber das geht mir zu weit. Auch dass er dem Leser "kein schlechtes Gewissen machen möchte" in Bezug auf den Verzehr von Milch und Fleisch, dann aber neben schlechten Haltungsbedingungen auch Tierbabys anführt und mahnt "folgen Sie Ihrem Herzen", finde ich nicht seriös. Zumindest nicht in einem Ernährungsratgeber.
Ich vergebe trotzdem 2 Sterne, weil er in manchen Sachen einfach Recht. Wenn man sich mit gesunder Ernährung beschäftigt weiß man das alles schon, aber es gibt sicher auch Menschen, für die viele dieser Informationen neu sind.
Zu glauben, dass ich nach weiteren 80 Seiten (seiner Gehirnwäsche) auf Fleisch und Milchprodukte ebenso verzichte wie auf Schokolade und darauf, mein Essen zu garen, halte ich für extrem unwahrscheinlich. Aber ich konnte mit Allen Carr schon nicht aufhören zu rauchen...
