Story
The day that actress, comedian, and cohost of The View Sherri Shepherd was diagnosed with the Big D - type 2 diabetes - she didn't see it coming. But she should have. Sherri had spent years battling excess weight, ignoring the warning that she was prediabetic, avoiding doctors, and denying some very clear signs that a diabetes diagnosis was imminent. Even watching the disease take her mother's life at the age of 41 didn't sound the alarm for Sherri. But when D Day came, she had a diagnosis in hand and a child of her own....

Story
From her office in the University of Minnesota's Health and Eating Lab, professor Traci Mann researches self-control and dieting. And what she has discovered is groundbreaking. Not only do diets not work, they often result in weight gain. Americans are losing the battle of the bulge because our bodies and brains are not hardwired to resist food - the very idea of it works against our biological imperative to survive.

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

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.

I am a Sparker!
What did you love best about The Spark?
Chris Downie's personal experience and how he build the Sparkpeople business and why he is wants and is able to keep it free. He is a very sincere guy and you can tell in the way he write's this book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Spark?
How Chris, without knowing it at the time, sparked a coworker of his named Pat. That story is so inspirational.
What did you learn from The Spark that you would use in your daily life?
I am a member of Sparkpeople and have lost a lot of weight. I have made many friends along the way as well. I use the "Four Corner Stones" everyday. The corner stones are very easy to incorporate into your daily life and build on one another.

You are buying an advertisement
What disappointed you about The Spark?
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.
