The last two chapters of Allen Carr's book have some obvious parallels with elementary AVRT, though I am not sure if he was aware of AVRT when he wrote the book. It would not surprise me if Allen Carr figured it out on his own, though, since AVRT has been around for centuries. It just was not written down and codified, although it is implicit in many faiths. Either way, I do agree that Carr's book may resonate with some people who are on the fence, and since his book is also technically written in the spirit of self-recovery, it will stay on my recommended reading list.
