In the summer of 2015, broke and defeated after two years of failing at my first startup, I moved out of my Boston apartment and back home to Mom and Dad’s. With the pressure of rent and food no longer plaguing me, I had time to reflect on the previous years from both a business and personal standpoint. Where did I go wrong? What could I have done better?
I decided to start reading and experimenting more with diet and exercise, maximizing productivity, improving my relationships, and bettering myself as a whole. I soon found out that one of those things (diet!) drastically impacted all the others.
Through trial and error, I learned that eating whole plant foods and avoiding meat, dairy, and processed foods had me feeling invincible. As I gradually made a transition to becoming vegan, my life started to change.

Good read for anyone looking for adopt a plant based lifestyle. I read Pat’s book because he is a friend of a friend and I was interested in seeing if he had anything new to report. I’ve been vegan-ish for almost 4 years now but I realize that I’ve been slacking a lot and was not eating enough fruits and veggies. Pat’s book was very readable, informative and entertaining. He could have skipped the F bombs in a few places but they also made me laugh out loud in other places. I really liked how Pat has done his research and quotes reputable sources like…
