The primary appeal that Boil the Frog will have for most people will be the step-by-step guide on how to lose the weight you want to lose. However, this audiobook will actually surprise you about how it dives deep into the very depths of your mind to find where you got lost and show you how to come back--even from addiction.

It will show you how to find who you were before the world told you different, about why you behave a certain way, but most importantly it will show you how you can fix it. Boil the Frog shows you how to strip all that away and become the person you were supposed to be to be the best version of yourself.

Get this audiobook for the weight loss--it really can help you with that--but keep it as a guide for life in general and pay it forward. Help others as it helped you, share your success, and together we can all become the best versions of ourselves.

I can’t get past the narration

The content in this book is a straight forward, no nonsense approach to making changes in your life. I've enjoyed the content and intend to read my copy of the book when it arrives. I wanted to listen first, but the narrator is so distracting I keep having to turn it off because I just can't handle it any more. He sounds like a Matthew McConaughey wanna be. I am from the south and appreciate a good southern accent, but this sounds like someone faking it in the worst way possible.

Good Book, Terrible Narrator

Not only was it hard to get past the narrator voice, the author’s journey is uninspiring and the concept of boiling frog has been overdone. When I got to him touting that “in 6 months you’ll be looking back in disgust at your current self” I had to stop. You cannot Shame yourself (or others ) into change !

Terrible annoying voice narration like a Discount Matthew McConaughey!

I had no idea what this book was about. I saw an ad on FB and read some really stupid, reactionary remarks by a couple of people who didn’t like the title. So, I bought it out of spite. LOL. Perhaps that was a bit of serendipity. Boil the Frog was the right book at the right time for me, an older guy who has dealt with weight problems my whole life, who realized it is now or never for some serious changes. While written by a man, the concepts and processes will certainly work for women, as well.

While there is nothing really new or groundbreaking when it comes to the basic information (this isn’t revolutionary findings from peer-reviewed weightloss studies) there is a lot of very relatable personal situations and straight-forward examples of what the author did to take control of his life. His approach was based in part on what he learned from reading Mindset by Carol S Dweck, PhD, which I immediately purchased and listened to. His story motivated me to make some changes that I have wanted to make for quite awhile. Two weeks in and results are already showing up in the way I feel, on the scales and in how my clothes fit.

Other reviewers have complained about the narrator. I get it. He is definitely a character. But I actually enjoy a narrator who gets into the reading and brings personality to the story. Kyle Colton absolutely does that. I listen at an accelerated rate and find that often helps with perceived issues in narration. There are a few very quiet spots and a couple of technical issues that keep this from being a five star review.

Very Relatable

The actor’s voice was so affected and annoying that I am surprised I got through to the end. It wasn’t just the hokey dialect but the drastic changes in volume made it difficult to set a listening volume.

The principle of the book is excellent but it could have been more concise.

Overall good message but repetitive and annoying voice actor.
