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 realized
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 centers 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 recognized 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. John Dicey is the Global Chief
Executive Officer & Senior Therapist of Allen Carr's Easyway
Worldwide. He was an 80 a day smoker and had tried many times to
quit - using every method he could find. Nothing worked. In 1997 he
attended Allen Carr's clinic in London and to his surprise he
became a happy non-smoker.
He trained and worked in the hotel & catering industry for 15 years
before being bowled over with his enthusiasm and passion for
Allen's life-changing method. He sold his business interests in the
hospitality industry when he joined Allen Carr in 1998. Under Allen
Carr's supervision he underwent the rigorous training process
required to become an Allen Carr's Easyway Therapist and took over
the operation of Allen's original London Center where he went on to
personally treat more than 30,000 smokers face to face. He went on
to expand the UK seminar center network and the international
franchise and publishing network, and worked closely with Allen to
apply his Easyway method to a host of other addictions and issues.
Appointed to Allen Carr's board in 2004, John reluctantly allows
himself to be described as co-author of Allen's books - but
delights in deflecting all the praise and acclaim for them straight
back on the great man himself; it's ALL Allen Carr. He has been
instrumental in the co-authorship, creation, & editing of many of
Allen Carr's books, ebooks and audio titles including Quit Smoking
Boot Camp, Allen Carr's Easyway to Quit Smoking, Stop Drinking Now,
Good Sugar Bad Sugar, Easyway to Stop Gambling, Get out of Debt,
Smart Phone Dumb Phone (Tech and Digital addiction), and Easyway to
Quit Emotional Eating as well as having written and developed
online video program for Stop Smoking, Stop Drinking, Weight Loss &
Sugar Addiction, Enjoy Flying, Stop Gambling, Quit Caffeine, Get
out of Debt, Quit Cocaine, Smart Phone, Dumb Phone (tech
addiction), Quit Vaping, and Quit Cannabis. John lives in the
London suburbs with his wife Jackie, and children Emily & Harry.
"And this time it was so easy, it was so perfect, and it was all because of this book ... I stopped, I just stopped."--James Spader, The Tonight Show, Jan. 13, 2018
