Synopsis
In this book, I will give you all the tools necessary for you to become a nonsmoker for the rest of your life. Not only will this book help you end your addiction to nicotine without gaining weight, but it will also help you discover how to regain control of your life. Most fail when attempting to quit smoking because they forget about dealing with the whole. Addiction is not only physical but also psychological. The book is structured unlike any other on the market. The Tao of Quitting Smoking is a spiritual approach to overcoming addiction that is accessible to people of all backgrounds.
This is not just another "quit smoking" book-it is about self-discovery, the
key element to freeing yourself of the fear of failing one more time. With
self-awareness and the knowledge presented in this book, you will have all the
elements you need to take control of your actions and say goodbye to tobacco
products forever.

January 04, 2005: I totally recommend this book for anyone, who has had difficulty with quitting smoking. I was a two pack a day smoker, who tried the patch and other books, but I seem to always go back to smoking. I'm a physican in the Emergency Department and my life is full of stress, as well as having three children at home. My wife has hates the smokes and my smoking has caused so much added stress in my life. So, I have been ready to quit for years, but I couldn't. The Tao of Quitting Smoking helps the reader go inward to capture back his self. I have given the book to my staff in eht E.R. Actually, most of the doctors and nurses smoke in the E.R where I work. I met the author at a book signing in NY and bought his book. I found the book very interesting, and extremely self motivating. Only one wish is that the author, Joseph Weaver would have spent more time on diet after quitting. I used most of his suggestion but needed more. I also had a problem with this book because, in order to complete this book, one has to be smoking. However, there were much much more that I loved about the book. What I loved about the book was that it referred smokers to discuss plans with their doctors for those, who have difficulty in the past with quitting. The book is complete and has help me finally end my addiction. Great Job, Joe. You should think about doing seminars!

December 04, 2004: After reading the Tao of Quitting Smoking, I highly recommend this book, not only to those addicted to nicotine, but to anyone with an addiction. The most important thing about quitting an addiction/habit is preparing yourself not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. This book is excellent because it touches upon each facet necessary to end an addiction. There are assignments which one can do while smoking as well as a step-by-step process to achieving a smoke-free life. This book is written in a simple, easy-to-read style not only for adults, but also for young teens. I, especially love that the Author has had first-hand experiences struggling with wanting to quit and in his book, we travel with him on his journey to becoming a nonsmoker. The book inspires one to achieve their highest potential in believing in yourself that you can do anything that you set your mind to do. He reminds me of Dr. Phil with his no nonsense approach.
