Biography: Allen Carr

Allen Carr was a chartered accountant before giving up his 100-a-day cigarette habit and becoming a world expert on how to quit.

He started smoking at 16 and within a few years had descended to chain-smoking. After numerous failed attempts to stop by using the usual methods, in 1983 he discovered a method that could make it easy for any smoker to give up the habit quickly, painlessly and permanently.
In 1985 he wrote The Easy Way To Stop Smoking describing his method. It quickly became the most successful book on stopping smoking with sales of more than three million. It has been translated into more than 20 languages.

Now he has over 50 clinics in 19 countries with trained therapists conducting sessions according to his method.

Allen Carr has since applied his psychological techniques to other addictions. Among his other books are:

- Allen Carr's Easyweigh To Lose Weight,
- How To Stop Your Child Smoking,
- The Easy Way To Enjoy Flying
- Allen Carr's Easy Way To Control Alcohol.
