"I read Break the Chains of Smoking with great interest and found, not only did it benefit my approach in assisting my own patients, but also discovered some facts about any addiction or habitual practice. Todd writes with a profound ability to engage the reader and leaves one with a desire to improve in whatever may be creating an addictive habit. In essence, I found the writing to be an approach for resolving the root cause of any person’s need to use smoking for easing one’s suffering, and with compassion observe the healing that may be required so smoking is no longer a self-sabotaging practice. With humor and kindness, as well as clear facts, Todd will guide anyone to become a better person and liberate themselves of the subconscious suffering by his proven methods of successful practice. I highly recommend this wise writing for anyone and everyone, not just for quitting smoking, but any habit that binds us. With great appreciation and respect, I thank you Todd for helping me on my own path."

"Todd Goodwin has hit the nail on the head, as it is the mind and its beliefs that need to be dehypnotized and heal. Unless that is done, other methods are futile. He has developed a whole program to help the mind heal its old beliefs."

"I have known Todd Goodwin and have referred patients to him for many years. I have learned to pay attention to what he says and writes. Break the Chains of Smoking cuts to the chase and gives clear instructions and support on how to finally break the habit. By exploring the true mind-body connection and the realization that smoking is primarily an emotionally compulsive habit, Todd explains how to get to the root of the problem. His clearly defined points to address the emotional and physical elements of quitting cigarettes are relatable. In addition, Todd gives you to the option to add another tool to your toolbox with the support of his online hypnosis system. If you want success in this journey, I highly recommend this book as a guide that will resonate with issues that have prevented you from breaking the chains of cigarettes in the past."

"As a Certified Hypnotist with my own practice, I work with many people attempting to quit smoking. As I have come to realize, smoking is an addiction that has very little to do with nicotine dependency. The roots and underlying causes of this harmful crutch are often deep and multilayered in the psyche and are a result of emotional dis-ease. Todd does an EXCELLENT job at explaining the nuance, difficulties, and particulars that often arise within each client attempting to quit. While practicing and seeing clients myself, this book often serves as a "manual" for many of the reminders and unique examples of the human experience with regard to smoking addiction, which aids in my knowledge and expertise. Whether you are assisting others to cease smoking or looking to quit yourself, this book is a MUST READ."
Brad Plotkin, C.Ht.
Certified Hypnotist
"I have been around several smokers in my life including friends, family members, and patients at my holistic nutrition practice. I can confidently say that Todd’s book, Break the Chains of Smoking, is a clear and direct guide for reprogramming the mind and successfully breaking the terrible habit of smoking through the process of hypnosis. This book provides an easy understanding of how one may perceive the addiction and why it’s useful to apply the effective remedy of hypnotherapy. It’s a mind-opening read and I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with smoking or for anyone with loved ones who just can’t quit."
