• About the author The common thread running through Allen Carr's work is the removal of fear.

A successful accountant, Allen Carr's hundred-cigarettes-a-day addiction was driving him to despair until, in 1983, after countless failed attempts to quit, he finally discovered what the world had been waiting for — the Easy Way to Stop Smoking. He has now built a network of clinics that span the globe and has a phenomena! reputation for success in helping smokers to quit.
