Very disappointed

Revisado: 07-10-23

He had so much potential to draw from, so many examples. He started off decently but then took a nose dive with his stealthy promotion of religion with his talk on scientism. He completely ignores the purpose of science and attacks it...losing any sort of credibility in my mind.

Not worth it.

Revisado: 09-19-22

Couldn't finish it. It glorifies hunting and completely overlooks the many indigenous communities that destroyed their environment. It's completely one sided and ingores real world problems in favor of a spiritual narrative that doesn't fit reality. It overlooks the fact that there isn't enough land for everone in the world to live like the most sustainable of indigenous societies of the past. Pure copium at best.

Sucks that indigenous wisdom has to come packed with spiritual nonsense. Big pass.

This book truely describes the situation we all face and the route forward. I can't express it enough how important it is for everyone to read/listen to this book and the solution(s) it offers.

overly optimistic ending, still great read.

Revisado: 07-25-22

While it has an overly optimistic ending, i think this is still a great listen for those who want to understand the global implications of catastrophic climate change. The opening and first half do a great job in this reguard.

Absolute garbage

Revisado: 01-26-22

What a load of garbage.  She constantly cites people from 200 years ago and beyond, likely because she is so out of touch with reality, peer reviewed scientific research, and what actually causes addiction…unmet social needs, discrimination, income inequality/poverty, abuse, etc. She spends an entire chapter trying to convince the reader that pain is something to admire and that trying to find happiness is the root to our collective issues.  She gives a reasonable point now and then but goes to great length to frame them in a way that is tantamount to spreading misinformation. Her approach has been tried and found to fail again and again, only this time she wraps it up in nice little 21st century packaging for those who can’t seem to think critically.  I’m a medical practitioner.  I was hoping this book would be a good resource for my clients but now I feel like I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone for any reason.  Do yourself a favor and find another book and another author.  I regret purchasing this load of utter garbage.

Super disappointing

Revisado: 10-06-21

The first half of the book starts off great but the second part is filled with carnist apologizing, woo woo thinking, and a ton of contradictory mezsages. She seems to foget that going vegan is for the animals, and our planet. She definitely seems to think saving our world isn't worth sacrificing a few relationships with fragile people who have no intention to change and who are the perpetrators of the violence, hate, and bigotry. This book fuels anti vegan arguments in the second half. Definitely avoid this book and the author's podcast...which is what she really seems to want to promote.

Tons of hype and misrepresentations

Revisado: 12-02-20

The author seems more concerned about social justice issues than health. The evidence is lacking and greatly misrepresented. I'm a big proponent of treating everyone equally and destroying the factors that cuase medical injustice but the scientific evidence does not show that obesity is in any way healthy or normal throughout human history. The evidence presented here was cherry picked for a social justice cause and is not based in the totality of the scientific literature.

Awesome and helpful!

A great mix of story telling while staying focused in evidence and biological mechanisms. It offers famtastic tips and tells you why they are important.

Mediocre at best. Not the most evidence based.

Revisado: 12-02-20

Found this book to be lacking. To many testimonials and stories and not enough scientific evidence. Spreads lots of health hype.
