Everyone should read this book

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It is only about an hour long but it has a lot of great info. Most of the info is very much common sense but it is always good to be reminded. I don't have a weight problem but I found this book to be a good reminder of what I already do. I thought Rebecca Roberts does a wonderful job of narrating this book. I was gifted this book with the understanding that I would leave an honest review. Everyone should read this book!

Interesting ideas and well thought out processes

This audio book was informative about how to think about food and suggestions about what to do in certain situations. As someone who has struggled with dieting and exercise my whole life, most of the information presented, I had previously heard. That being said, they were presented in a way to help change your mindset about your weight and diet habits. This was very useful and could be very beneficial to users.

I personally will be putting some of the ideas to the test in the coming months.

I requested a preview copy of this audio book and I am leaving a voluntary and honest review.

Aha! So that's why my belt is shrinking!

The Contents
I was fully expecting this audio book to be filled with fluff and personal claims of this or that and guaranteed miracle results and physical perfection. Instead, I found it to be packed with actual real-world examples of identifiable yet probably unrecognized habits and behaviors that lead to weight gain and unhealthy lifestyles. I would guess 98% of the population of the industrialized world would discover at least a few of the solutions discussed by the author to be transformative in their lives if they were to implement them. I'll venture a guess that you will as well.

The Narration
The importance of a great narrator in an audio books is huge for me. I have experienced other audio books that I could not get into and couldn't wait to finish because of the deficiencies of the narrator. I wasn't expecting much in this short volume in that regard either. Wow was I wrong! Immediately, the silky smooth voice of Rebecca Roberts put a relieved smile on my face! There were no annoying inflections that colored the authors words, no hisses or other technical problems in the recording, no changes in pitch, volume, or intonation from one take to the next. THANK YOU!

Finally, I will state that I was given this book for free in exchange for this unbiased and honest review. I don't often rate a book or narration so high, but this one deserved it.

No world changing revelations in this audio book.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Probably not. It wasn't a bad book, but I think I would rather have the print edition.

Any additional comments?

There was nothing about this audio book that I would call "Life Changing". Everything in it has already been said before, sometimes many times. It really was not all that original or scholarly. I think would have preferred the print edition because at least then you would have had the humorous cartoons in it to break up the monotony.

Tips for Losing Weight

Where does Think Like a Skinny Person rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The information contained in this audiobook was useful, relevant and sensible. I wish, though, that the information had been grouped into a more logical sequence. Specifically, I wished the author would have grouped the information into common themes, and then "front loaded" the listener with the name of the theme about to be discussed-as opposed to sharing ideas in what felt like a random set of suggestions.

Nevertheless, I was greatly appreciative of the concept of "true" versus "false" cravings-and how to differentiate them-it made TOTAL sense, and it was also very practical!

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.
