I like to review "how-to-be-vegan" guidebooks in order to know which ones to recommend. This one by the BOSH! guys, whose cookbooks I've looked at previously, is one of the best, if not THE best, so far. I say that mostly due to its comprehensiveness; its two main sections, the WHY and the HOW, comment on just about everything a new vegan would think to ask. What veganism is, reasons to make the change--along with the authors' experience in doing so, why it makes a difference to the planet, how

Very repetitive what was written in 100 pages could easily be written in 35 pages! I feel kike they just wanted to fill papers in nost of it. It has good information don't get me wrong but that's a small part of it ! Over priced with respect to the info...

This guide could be helpful for newbie vegans & for these who are just curious. BTW The Vegan Society provides the same info for free & without unnecessary filler.
There were two things that rubbed me wrong way.
* Environmental & health reasons for going vegan get a chapter each, animal welfare gets honourable mention here & there. Why is that?
* I would also disagree with the call not to be a "pushy" & "angry" vegan. You might not like them & believe that they do more harm than good but they ...more

I've been vegan for just over a year so I picked this book up from the library because I wanted a bit of a refresher...why I'm doing what I'm doing. It's packed full of really helpful information, it's not preachy (major bonus) and the layout is great. My main reasons for being vegan is for the animals and for the environment, I adore animals and am against animal cruelty. The focus of this book is more about the health reasons of being vegan, which I can't really relate to as I'm a junk food ve

A really good practical read for someone who is new to veganism or considering veganism. I have been vegetarian on and off so many of the things outlined were familiar to me, but this is a great introduction. From tips on reading labels, to nutritional balance, to taking the conversation beyond food (clothing, make-up, travel), the book creates space for the reader to make up their own mind on just how ‘vegan’ they might want to be, and always emphasising that any move towards living without ani

A really good book for those entering the world of veganism, I feel would make a perfect introduction. I don’t feel however if you’re already vegan it would tell you anything you don’t already know. Wonderful clear language, easy to navigate and understand, full of passion and enthusiasm, highly recommended reading for the wannabe vegan or just someone trying to be greener, healthier and planet conscious

Anyone who is already vegan, who want more information about it or are thinking about adopting a vegan lifestyle, READ THIS BOOK!
Veganism can be an intimidating topic - there's a lot of false reports, contradicting views, misconceptions and a general lack of knowledge and understanding of what it means to be vegan.

3.75/5⭐ A very informative and helpful guide on How to Live Vegan.
A plant-based lifestyle can really help our own health and the environment.
The book details what food options there are for you to eat, and how to cook the foods, or make healthy and fun recipes that are plant-based. Also where to find alternative clothes and toiletries.
I myself am lactose intolerant and have always wondered about going fully vegan and giving up meat as well, and other products.

A friendly and nonjudgmental introduction to veganism. I like the casual tone, the absence of preaching, the tolerance to others' choices, and and flexibility.
This guide is relatively short but covers a lot for people interested in understanding the environmental repercussion of animal agriculture. It has simple explanation and tips for cooking, eating out, travelling, even clothing.

Great book for anyone interested in veganism. I've recently changed to a plant based diet, mainly for environmental reasons, and the thing I loved about this book is the author while promoting a 100% vegan lifestyle repeatedly stated that any reduction in our individual meat & dairy intake will make a difference and that each of us are on our own vegan journey.

It was alright. Didn't want to give a 2 but felt it was rather repetitive. It's good if you know very minimal about being vegan but for the most part a lot of people may know these facts whether you're vegetarian, flex or omnivore.
After reading "Main Street Vegan" this one just couldn't compare! I think I'm done with my vegan books for a while. ...more

As someone who's been vegan for about 10 months now, I didn't get anything immediately new from this, but thought the Lifestyle section was particularly good - the perfect gift for anyone in your life considering going vegan.

Bosh! How to live Vegan was written by Henry Firth and Ian Theasby, the 2 people behind the [bosh business](http://bosh.tv), a vegan food website and business. They have been described as the "Vegan Jamie Olivers". The book covers all aspects of vegan living, from food to toiletries to travel. It talks about the reasons and facts about veganism. It gives some answers to questions about the morality of veganism, including plastic, travel, social situations and more, and it gives great advice on h

I listened to this as an audio book presented by the authors. As a vegan of 3 years it didn't offer anything new but would be a great place to start for anyone interested in the topic, answering all of the common questions people want to ask :-)
The only gripe with the book is some of the terminology, in my mind you can be plant based one or two meals a day or week but you wouldn't be vegan one meal a day. As a vegan you're trying your best to avoid the exploitation and cruelty to animals in all ...more

Book cover of the actual book differs from what is shown in Goodreads. Henry Firth and Ian Theasby empower readers to decide for themselves in taking up veganism or vegetarianism. It answers why, what, where and how to live vegan your way in saving the planet called Earth.

A really good introduction to veganism, both in terms of the WHY and the HOW. I’m sure there are far more detailed books on the subject, but I definitely think is a really good starting point for anyone starting to look into veganism and needs some pointers in the right direction. I really appreciated the end section as well about non-food related veganism - I didn’t realise animal products are in pretty much everything! I would definitely recommend this to anyone that wants the key facts.

This book was a great read, informing the reader of all the aspects of veganism and a practical guide on how to live a more sustainable plant-based way of eating. Easy to read and understand without feeling inundated. Having been vegan for two and a half years, there were still many pieces of information that was very new to me! Such as vegan opinions on cars, phones and lots of powerful environmental statistics.

Quick, easy read. Good information that's basic and at time enlightening. Don't agree 100% with all of the nutritional advice. Authors are not scientists or dieticians or nutritionists but happy vegans wanting to share what works for them. My favorite section was how to handle being vegan/vegatarian with those around you! Recommend it for those living with or who are veggan. Now to read Dr. Mark's book on how to get away from meat produced with factory practices.

Good introduction
Good introduction to the basic principles of veganism. The emphasis on the link to sustainability and reversing climate change is something that may come as a surprise to some people. If you are already vegetarian or vegan, you probably are already aware of much that's in this book, but the references are a valuable resource and the book would make a good gift for someone thinking of taking the plunge. ...more

This is a great book!
If you are on the shelf about going vegan, if you are unsure about going vegan, if you just want to know more about what is vegan...then this book is for you!
The guys make veganism simple, non preachy (they actually call out preachy hate filled vegans!) and actually interesting looking.
You know what, just buy the book or borrow your friends and read it, you might surprise yourself!

Written for someone at the very beginning of their food choice journey. I did like the gentle encouragement for vegan, veggie, flexitarians, or even someone putting a no-meat Monday toe in the water. I think taking this tack opens up the meat free world to people without the pressure of judgement or of making a huge lifestyle change in one moment. They had some good basic advice for getting started and a few recipes to try.

The book is interesting and research based, which I really enjoyed. Facts are based on researches and they are also linked in the book. I would recommend it to everyone, but mostly to people, who want to start a vegan journey. It is written not in a forcefull way and accepts all human opinions. I allready knew almost all the facts, as I already have researched a lot myself, but a good book to remind all the reasons why, how, and is a help to start this lifestyle.

This is a good guidebook for someone who is interested in becoming a vegan. It's not preachy and the writers understand it isn't an easy commitment to make but talk about the positives of making that change without making you feel guilty that you're yet to do it. Also opened my eyes into quite a few foods/drinks/household items that aren't vegan.

A short and essential book on making adjustments towards eating and consuming more healthily, more compassionately, and in a way that's better for the environment, at a time when the world is heating up at a scary pace. These guys do great cookbooks and you tube recipes, and this is a simple guide that anyone even partially interested in vegan ism should have.
