DO NOT LISTEN TO THE AUDIO DOWNLOAD
WHILE DRIVING OR OPERATING HEAVY MACHINERY,
OR IF YOU SUFFER FROM EPILEPSY.

IF IN DOUBT, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Do NOT use this book until you have read these pages.

You have in your hands one half of the system that will change your life. To achieve success it is essential that you download the other half of this system from the Hay House website:

hayhouse.com/mckenna

and use the audio track that completes it.

This is not just a book to read, it is part of a life-changing solution. This book is the first essential element of the system. The audio session is just as important: you must use both the book and the audio session to achieve permanent success.

The session contains everything I would do if I were working with you personally. It consists of simple, powerful psychological techniques and hypnotic trance that strengthen the power of your subconscious mind to guide your success.

It is really easy to download onto your computer or smartphone, just a few clicks, then a few minutes later, you will have me there whenever you need, to help you make the changes you want.

Intellectual knowledge is not the same as real change, so you cannot expect lasting results if you only read this book. You must download and use the audio session to achieve permanent, positive change.

In hypnotic trance your unconscious is highly receptive to positive intentions. It is not the same as sleep, it is a wonderful state of deep relaxation, like a daydream or meditation, and even though you are deeply relaxed, if for any reason you need to awaken, you will do so with all the resources you need.

The audio session is not just essential, it is also enjoyable and rewarding. In fact, many people use it over and over to reinforce their new mind-set and enhance their success.

A QUICK NOTE FROM PAUL MCKENNA

There are two kinds of smokersthose who know they want to quit but dont think they can, and those who think they can quit any time they want but are too scared to find out if they really can.

In both cases, the real question is: whos in chargeyou or the cigarettes?

If youre in the category of people who say, I could quit any time I wantI just dont want to, I want you to know that that isnt you talkingits the cigarettes.

Youd probably like to think youre in control and that smoking is up to youbut if you have ever tried to quit before and failed, you also probably know thats not really true. As the famous French writer Charles Baudelaire wrote, The greatest trick the devil ever pulled off was convincing the world he didnt exist.

Heres how you can find out for sure. If youre someone who wants to quit but doesnt think they can, go through each exercise in the book with an open mind. Youll quickly find the whole process to be far easier than you imagined.

If, on the other hand, youre someone who thinks they can quit but doesnt want to, go through the system anyway. Youll soon find out how much power you really have or how much of your life youve given away to cigarettes, and how much this book can help you.

You can always go back to smoking when youre done if you really wantbut chances are that once you taste freedom, youll never go back to the taste of cigarettes again.

To your success,

Paul McKenna

Getting Started

Congratulationsyou are about to quit smoking forever!

It doesnt matter if you have smoked all your life, if you have tried to quit many times before and failed, or if you dont believe this system will work for you. All you have to do is follow my instructions fully and completely and you will never smoke again. Not only that, you will do so with a sense of near effortlessness and you will be highly unlikely to gain any weight.

When I was discussing with my publisher why my quit-smoking system was different from others, I mentioned that people are highly unlikely to put on weight because it treats the core reason why people smoke, not just the symptom. In fact, a recent study revealed that only 3 percent of the people using my system to quit smoking gained any weight at all, and over 6 percent actually lost weight while quitting smoking.

I have spent the last 20 years studying human behavior and developing this revolutionary approach to quitting smoking without gaining weight. I know exactly why you smoke and how to stop it for good. Your mind is like a computer, and like a computer it has its own software. Each one of your habits, healthy or deadly, is operating right now in your mind like the programs on a computer.

Over the course of this book, we are going to reprogram your mind through the various imagination exercises and with the hypnosis audio download that accompanies it. By the time you finish this book and have listened to the audio download every day for at least two weeks, a cigarette will never seem the same to you again.

There are, however, a couple of things you need to know before we begin.

1. I do not believe that smoking or cigarettes are evil.
