Do you pull out your phone at every idle moment?
Do hours slip away as you mindlessly scroll?
Has your smartphone added a level of detachment between you and the outside world?
Sadly technology which should be a wonderful boon to us has started to blight our lives. The average adult spends nearly ten hours a day looking at digital screens, leading to unprecedented levels of stress, isolation, procrastination and inertia. The fact is that digital dependence is an addiction and should be treated as such.
Allen Carr's Easyway is a breath of fresh air when it comes to addiction treatment. Tried and tested as an incredibly successful stop-smoking method, its principles have since been applied to other addictions such as alcohol, gambling and caffeine with outstanding results. Here, for the first time, the Easyway method has been used to overcome digital addiction, and it really works!
Smart Phone Dumb Phone rewires our relationship to technology. By unravelling the brainwashing process behind our addictive behaviour, we are freed from dependence and can reassert control over our time and productivity. Including 20 practical steps to help you along your way, this wonderful guide will release you from the clutches of your smartphone and allow you to live in the moment. It truly is the easyway.
Allen Carr
Allen Carr (1934-2006) was a chain-smoker for over 30 years. In 1983, after countless failed attempts to quit, he went from 100 cigarettes a day to zero without suffering withdrawal pangs, without using willpower and without gaining weight. He realised that he had discovered what the world had been waiting for - the Easy Way to Stop Smoking - and embarked on a mission to help cure the world's smokers. Easyway has grown to become a global phenomenon with seminar centres in 150+ cities in more than 50 countries around the world. Allen Carr's Easyway books, online video programmes, and live group seminars have helped an estimated 50 million smokers worldwide. A vast majority of those happy non-smokers became aware of the method as a result of personal recommendation from their friends, family, and colleagues. Allen Carr is now recognised as the world's leading expert on helping smokers to quit and has sold over 16 million books on the topic. His Easyway method has been successfully applied to a host of issues including weight control, alcohol and other addictions and fears. In 2006, Allen was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away that November handing responsibility for Easyway over to his closest and most trusted colleagues.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It might feel a little cheesy, it might feel a bit slow at the start, but stick with it. If you commit to it fully this will be the last time you need to attempt to quit and you only need to quit once. Do you want to get your life back and fully participate in life again? Be honest with yourself. If you run into a roadblock while reading this book where you're just not convinced it'll work (I know I did) or it just doesn't feel right, or you're feeling anxious and having doubts, don't be too quick to put it down. Pause for a moment and ask yourself where these thoughts and feelings are coming from and whether you really agree with them. There is no mentally lazy way of doing this, but it is easy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book has recent information on IT and trends and it holds it place even in 2023.
Focuses on the underlying addiction problem extremely well. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Using your logic and this book, you will for sure succed
