Summary: A new way of life!
Review: I have searched for a long, long, long, long, long (need I go on?) time for a way to stop smoking and have finally found it! Gebhardt's book focuses on ways to change your thinking - not only about smoking but about the zillion other things we all have in our life. He recognises that all smokers berate themselves day after day about their smoking and asks the question: Has this negativity ever helped you to quit? Step by step, he helps his readers bring more joy into their thoughts and this, seamlessly, brings more joy into their smoking. Paradoxically, by feeling joy when smoking, we are able to "forget" how to smoke. Suddenly quitting seems like a fun and graceful next move. I would recommend this book to anyone who is able to open their heart to feeling joy. If you're steeped in logic and cynicism then even you might like to give it a try. However, if you're already on the way to letting spirituality into your life then get this book and watch a controlling addiction slip away gently.

Summary: FINALLY NO GUILT
Review: Jack has a lot of credentials to his name. He has his own school for those trying to quit smoking as well as years of studying under the government and private agencies. I had a wonderful time learning how to "Forget to smoke. Jack teaches you how to stop the cycle of guilt in the quitting process and how to stop trying to quit and simply forget! His 7 step program worked for me better than all of the programs from the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association because they use slight scare tactics to accomplish quitting. Well worth the money!

Summary: Forget to smoke...
Review: This book is excellent, but it requires much more than the other traditional stop-smoking texts. This book doesn't just provide information, but rather offers a unique opportunity to overcome an addiction while effortlessly transitioning into a new life, a new way of thinking. And this is precisely what I think will turn a lot of readers off. While I found this book to be fascinating and practical, to be sure, it is also spiritual and New Agey and esoteric---though in a perfectly appropriate, non-preachy sort of way. For those of you who are repelled by the touchy-feely stuff, this book is not for you. And if you are looking for the smoking panacea, a way of quitting without having to put forth any effort whatsoever, this book isn't for you, either. This book is for those who are looking for a new means of viewing the smoking paradigm. If nothing else, no matter who you are, this book provides the tools to stop beating yourself up about smoking---something all of us smokers seems to have in common. Miraculously, though, the day after I finished reading the book, I "accidentally" smoked half as much as the day before. And that's what this book is really about: Forgetting to smoke. Nifty concept. We'll see if it works.
