This book is not revolutionary. Yes, I know, ideally I would be eating a raw plant food based diet. But I'm not. I wasn't before reading this book and I'm not after reading it either. However it has encouraged me to eat more raw plant foods than before. But then again, I do have a largely plant based diet anyway with little meat or processed foods. I do think David Wolfe is a little bit mad and obsessed with being 'beautiful' and being surrounded by 'beautiful' people. He uses science to explain why consuming certain plant foods are very good for health with a particular interest of course in creating a 'perfect' appearance. Although I am hesitant to praise this book to any great extent it has encouraged me to use coconut oil instead of other oils and eat more cucumber (specific, I know). There are also a few chapters later in the book that discuss the importance of sleep, yoga/meditation and psychology with regards to beauty and I did find these sections quite interesting, although Wolfe is not as knowledgeable about these subjects compared to diet, and of course is not the main purpose of the book anyway. I think for those interested in nutrition and have/aim for a plant based diet it is a book worth reading, but for everyone else probably not.
