Simple yet effective

I listened to Bob as he shared his Skinny Rules and thought - wow, I CAN do these especially now that I understand the rationale behind them. Knowing the causes and effects of the foods & cravings are powerful. Anxious to start my 30 days!!!

Sound advice!

Good material, quick listen. Narrated by Bob Harper. Simple rules to follow. It's the kind of book you could listen to a few times a year for a refresher.

Good Info

We know Bob knows what he is doing. The best part of this, it is not long winded. However, it listens like a run on sentence. From a listening stand point, detracts from learning and retention of info. I was a bit surprised because I have listened to Bob on a podcast, how I learned about this book, and he was much more animated and had infection = more engaging. Regardless, I think it is worth it. It is so short, so what if you listen again.

Way too short !!!

What would have made The Skinny Rules better?

The book should NOT have been abridged! It should have a PDF. I don't even know what all the are because I listen to the book while driving therefore I can't write them down as he says them! NOW WHAT! I have to buy it twice!!! That's robbery!
