In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris' recent best-seller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos.

Starts with a bang but stretched too far.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes. It has some novel ideas in it, even though the book carries on for too long with diminishing returns (in terms of new and equal quality content).
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
The habit loop concept is well developed but the author's claim of it being the underlying element in a lot of historic events is very questionable.
Have you listened to any of Mike Chamberlain’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Nope, but his performance was very good.
Was The Power of Habit worth the listening time?
I only just made it to the end! So I guess it's a yes.

For thousands of years, the faithful have honed proselytizing strategies and talked people into believing the truth of one holy book or another. Indeed, the faithful often view converting others as an obligation of their faith - and are trained from an early age to spread their unique brand of religion. The result is a world broken in large part by unquestioned faith. As an urgently needed counter to this tried-and-true tradition of religious evangelism, this audiobook offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith - but for talking them out of it.

New ideas but lacks delivery
Revisado: 06-10-14
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes, it is a brave attempt at a practical approach to engaging with believers. Commendable and has interesting bits in it throughout. Well researched and structured.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
His delivery is not nearly on a par with professional narrators. Books read by the authors are rarely an audio success - this one is no different. Sure people in his field have done so successfully but he is definitely no Hitchens or Dawkins in the orator stakes.
His animated, condescending tone when trying to impersonate others at certain points were particularly grating.
