Not much to learn from...

Is there anything you would change about this book?

If you already know Spark people, you will waste your time with this book. If you don't, it is a OK book but nothing revolutionary in this method.

Was The Spark worth the listening time?

Not really

Thrilled

I am a member of Sparkpeople.com and have been for 3 years...The Spark brings it all together and really helps with motivation which I have been lacking. Check out Sparkpeople.com to go with this book. You're going to love it too!

One of the Best Books ever written

If you have been struggling with weight loss issues and have tried every single diet known to man or woman, this book is for you.
This is not a "DIET" diets don't work, and set you up for failure.
This book is about making small changes, one step at a time, and as you make these small changes, you begin to "spark" other changes.
I personally had given up, and taken a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) attitude. I was observing life from the sidelines, and after reading this book, so far I've lost 70 pounds in 14 months, and I am now enjoying participating in life.
If I can do this, so can you.

Horrible!

This book should be titled "Motivation and Goals" not Spark....this is about weight loss ..there are no specfics in this book just generalities about motivation..dah! Like I didn't know that...save your money and joing Weight Watchers!

You are buying an advertisement

The book is just one long advertisement for the website. He mentions his clients over and over again.

Would you ever listen to anything by Chris Downie again?

If I ever think that I'm just not getting exposed to enough marketing in my life and I feel the need to pay for some more, I will grab his next book.

Any additional comments?

I've listened to at least 20 audiobooks and this is the first time I actually wanted my money back! I couldn't finish it.
