  I have The Beck Diet Solution, the book, which is excellent, but still purchased the audio book, to listen to while driving and doing other activities.
  
  The Beck Diet Solution is great because it explains that proper eating is skill that can be learned, just as any other skill, like skating, knitting, or tying your shoes! It dispels the mystery behind proper eating and weight control ~ why it seems that some people are successful and some are not. It then proceeds to teach you the skill of successful dieting and weight control ~ and also teaches that to truly learn the skill, you must practice it. And as you use it, you will see success ~ I have lost 20 lbs. so far, and it has been consistent. More importantly, it also teaches you how to handle the inconsistencies, which are bound to occur, and still keep you focused on your goal.
  
  Specifically, in regards to the audio book, the reading is clear, and the quality is excellent.
  
  After I purchased the book, I then purchased a copy for my sister as a gift. I so strongly recommend this plan that I would recommend buying this book or audio book first before starting any eating plan, as this gives you the road map to the the Land of the Thin!

• Sabatoging thoughts? Who would have thunk it?

  I give this book 5 stars because I too have lost about 20lbs since I learned that the culprit of my weight loss failures were my own "sabatoging thoughts". The thoughts that say to you, "This bed feels too good to get out of, I'll just work out tomorrow". Or the thought that says, it's only a small donut, I'll get back on my diet tomorrow". Dr. Beck actually tells you what to say to yourself when sabotaging thoughts threaten your best efforts. I am finally on the right track now thanks to this book. She has helped me to nip my problem in the bud. Thanks Dr. Beck!
  
  

• Good advice, and a good, solid plan.

  This is the best, most honest advice you'll ever get to help you lose weight. There is no food plan here. She tells you to pick a nutritionally sound diet, as well as a back-up diet, and stick to it. She will help you change your thinking to think more like a thin person with some writing and "thinking" exercises. It's cognitive therapy, and you will learn why you should tolerate some hunger and cravings because craving something usually isn't an emergency, and your next meal is only a short time from now.

  This is worth the money! I love the fact that it addresses the psychological issues surrounding overeating, and doesn't give prescriptive advice about what to eat. I already know what I should eat, but talking back to my self-talk that says "oh, go ahead and eat it and start tomorrow" is another story.
  
  You won't be sorry you bought this. I highly recommend the workbook AND CD.
