The Noom Mindset

Noom · 2022
🎙 Narrated by Tanis Parenteau; introduction by Saeju Jeong (Noom CEO)
65/100
👎 Skip It

The psychological frameworks Noom draws on — CBT, DBT, self-determination theory, behavioral economics — are real and mainstream, and the seven-keystone-habit structure gives the book genuine utility for readers new to applied behavioral psychology around health. The inevitable brand-promotion undertone and the fact that these frameworks are not unique to Noom limit how far the intellectual case goes. Tanis Parenteau's narration is clear and easy to follow; the CEO introduction from Saeju Jeong reportedly caused some listeners difficulty, which is worth knowing before you buy.

▶ Listen to a sample

🎙 Narration: fine Tanis Parenteau's main narration is clear and accessible; the CEO introduction by Saeju Jeong was described as difficult for some listeners due to language barrier — a known wrinkle worth flagging.
