Nixon, author of the popular Happy Herbivore blog and cookbook series, is sent dozens of questions from readers about living a plant-based life: What do you do in social situations outside of the home?

Nixon has put together a practical guide to address questions like these and to help with the many other challenges that come with a plant-based or vegan diet. Whether you're already living the Happy Herbivore lifestyle or simply thinking of switching to a plant-based way of life, The Happy Herbivore Guide to Plant-Based Living is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource and easy to listen to!

I am still a newbie with my transition to plant based and follow Lindsay's blogs. I own two of her cookbooks and also the kindle edition of the guide to Plant Based Living. I like having the audio so I can listen to it in the car. Each time I listen to it, I learn more. I will say she reads it animated enough that it keeps you very interested. What I find with Lindsay that is refreshing is she believes in progress not perfection. This book helps you to see how you can make changes and how easy it can be with all of her helpful hints! The book is fantastic for anyone who wants to learn more on how to transition to a plant based lifestyle but I think it is possibly a great resource for those that already have converted. She reminds you of healthier choices you can make.

The book gives you a feel for how Lindsay puts things in simple terms. Once you have listened to this audio, you will want to take a serious look at her wonderful cookbooks! The cookbooks have easy and simple recipes too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent general guide to plant-based living
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2014

What I love about this book is that it is down-to-earth. In all of Lindsay's work she never puts anyone down, just tries to offer sound advice - which is always spot-on. She provides an overview of the health benefits of plant-based living (because let's face it, as much as I'd like to read the China Study and other scientific tomes about the health benefits, I'd rather have a quick summary and spend more time in the kitchen :)

I particularly appreciated the section about social situations. This has been one of the most difficult things about going plant-based. Lindsay's guide describes several of the situations that I've been in. It is so helpful to read about tips to deal with these situations.

I was just going to read a few pages of the book one morning and wound up reading the entire thing! I definitely recommend this book for anyone thinking about going plant-based or have just made the switch.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Guide for Individuals New to the Plant- Based World of Eating
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2017

So what is The Happy Herbivore Guide To Plant- Based Living?
It’s target audience are individuals that are new to plant- based eating or just curious about plant- based eating and its benefits. Nixon helps readers understand what plant- based eating is, and compares it to the traditional non plant- based foods and snacks consumed and how they are harmful to the body. In addition, she has chapters that cover how to convert to a plant based diet, and how to deal with curious (and sometimes discouraging) friends and family. In this book she includes recipes (I found the recipes for the Mushroom & Potato Soup and the Indian Lentils & Cabbage easy and delicious.) There is also a shopping list to get one started on their new journey. If there is one thing readers will take away from this book: there is no need to go on a diet when you can just change your diet.

Now for my thoughts: I liked the book for the information it provided. I am two years into my vegetarian lifestyle and this is a book I would have wanted in my early stages. So for those curious readers looking for a push in the right direction, start here. This book is an easy read with lots of pictures and side notes for emphasis. My favorite part of the book is the shopping list and the references (but that is just appealing to the researcher in me that likes to look into things further).

What I did not like, and most of the reviews on GoodReads agreed, were the incessant plugs for her other social mediums as well as links to sites where she charges for the same information. I mean…really, Lindsay?

Overall, it’s a great guide for “newbies” in the plant- based world. Nothing here is too technical, scholarly or boring. Just good sound advice provided in a friendly, non- threatening manner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definately love this book!!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2015

When I started reading this book, I hated it because I thought, here's another book that's reiterating what I had just read (Dr. McDougall and Dr. Esselstyn, etc). But then to my SURPRISE I started to appreciate what the author is trying to do and I love it. When one decides to begin a plant based diet, the natural progression is to read everything on line and in books. After awhile, it becomes confusing because everybody tweaks their take on this way of eating just a little bit. This author puts all the information in a succinct and logical way and even gives the variances such as what to do if you aren't losing weight. After watching Dr. Fuhrman's special on PBS and watching the documentary "Forks over Knives," I read the books but I was somewhat confused and had yellow stickies everywhere but in this BOOK, it's all there and so organized!!! I love the plant based food pyramid on page 36! Next up is to try the recipes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and Direct Advice

The doctors, scientists and documentaries may have convinced you about the benefits of whole food, plant based eating (WFPB). There is still a gap, however, between treating it as a diet plan and making it your lifestyle.

Lindsay Nixon is ready to show you the way. After years of developing Happy Herbivore, I'm sure that there is nothing about the WFPB lifestyle that she has not thought about or addressed with those who have asked.

In her easy to read and approachable style Lindsay has gathered together a "Best Of" collection of advice and resources to help those who are serious about making the change from the Standard American Diet to the WFPB lifestyle. From travel to resources, philosophies and "unmentionables", Lindsay doles out practical advise for every situation.

If you are not a Happy Herbivore fan already, I'm sure you will be by the time you finish this book. Most importantly, you'll meet in these pages a woman who is committed to making a difference in the lives of others. That alone is worth the price of admission.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ganz gut, aber...
Reviewed in Germany on May 20, 2014

Das Buch ist an sich ganz OK. Aber einige der Tipps die Lindsay uns gibt sind einfach nur lächerlich.

Sie hat das Buch ja unter anderem so beworben, dass es eine Art FAQ-Buch mit praktischen Tipps etc. wird. Das ist ja an sich auch ein wirklich guter Ansatz, da es so was zwar für vegane Ernährung allgemein, nicht aber für eine vegane Vollwerternährung gibt.
Einige dieser Tipps sind allerdings wirklich lächerlich. Zum Thema Hochzeiten sagt sie sinngemäß: "Wenn du auf eine Hochzeit eingeladen bist, sprich vorher mit dem Caterer oder dem Brautpaar." Mehr steht zu Hochzeiten da nicht drin, obwohl das sogar ein Kapitel war, was Lindsay im Vorfeld beworben hat. Sorry, aber was für ein Tipp soll das sein? Ich glaube, da kommt jeder drauf, mal mit dem Caterer zu sprechen. Man hat das Gefühl, dass es hier nur um's Seitenfüllen geht. Und von diesen "Tipps" gibt es mehrere.

Ein großer Teil des Buches besteht zudem nur aus Produktnamen etc., was uns hier in Deutschland (oder Europa allgemein) ja leider nichts bringt. Das will ich allerdings nicht in die Wertung einfließen lassen, weil Lindsay nichts dafür kann, dass wir hier "im falschen Land" leben. Trotzdem hat man auch hier das Gefühl, dass es um's Seitenfüllen ging.

Lindsay's Definition von "plant-based" ist schlichtweg falsch und unsinnig. Laut ihr bedeutet plant-based "vollwertig, vegan, ölfrei". Nein, tut es nicht. Plant-based bedeutet, dass etwas auf Planzen basiert. Dazu muss es nicht einmal vegan sein. ([...]). Was Lindsay meint ist die "WHOLE FOODS PLANT-BASED DIET", die T. Colin Campbell unter anderem propagiert. "Whole foods", also "vollwertig" ist hier das Hauptaugemerk.
Laut Lindsay ist ein Oreo vegan, aber nicht plant-based. Doch ist er! Aber er ist nicht whole foods plant-based. Ihre Definition ist also sehr, sehr schwammig bzw. sogar falsch.

Lustig ist übrigens, dass Lindsay plant-based im Sinne von "no animal products" auslegt, dann aber 2 oder 3 mal Honig in ihrem Buch empfiehlt. Warum? Der ist weder das Eine, noch das Andere.

Insgesamt hat man beim Lesen doch die Vermutung, dass Lindsay Ben Bella möglichst schnell noch ein Buch "schenken" wollte, damit sie aus ihrem Vertrag rauskommt, weil sie ja aufhören möchte, Kochbücher zu schreiben. Vielleicht wirkt das Buch deshalb so, als wäre es nur aus ihren Blogeinträgen zusammengeschustert.

Und selbst dann ist das Buch immer noch sehr, sehr kurz und am Ende habe ich mich wirklich gefragt, was ich durch das Buch jetzt an Wissen gewonnen habe. Eigentlich nichts. Vielleicht bin ich aber auch nur zu lange vegan...
