Skinny Habits: The 6 Secrets of Thin People

Bob Harper & Greg Critser · 2015
🎙 Narrated by Robbie Daymond
71/100
👍 Worth It

Harper and Critser's behavioral approach — focusing on the habits and cognitive patterns of naturally lean people rather than on willpower or meal plans — is the more durable angle in weight-management writing, and the Habit Homework format at the end of each chapter gives listeners something to actually do. The ground is familiar if you have read Duhigg, and the 3.75-hour runtime keeps it brisk rather than deep. Robbie Daymond is a capable narrator who keeps the pacing comfortable, though the short runtime means there is not much room for the narration to distinguish itself.

✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.

▶ Listen to a sample

🎙 Narration: good Robbie Daymond is a professional narrator who handles the material cleanly. Short runtime means the performance does not have space to become memorable, but it never gets in the way either.
