Critic Reviews

“I grew up with a misconception that getting older meant getting sicker. I thought the secret to health was youth. I now realize the secret is food. Our bodies are of full of potential that our diets can unlock. Today, as I strive to be my best, I move toward plants, listen to Marco Borges, and follow a lifestyle that truly reverses aging - The Greenprint.” (Steve Harvey) 

“After over 40 years of directing scientific research showing that comprehensive lifestyle changes can reverse most chronic diseases, I have come to realize that vital lifestyle information can only affect change if it resonates with people. Marco Borges has made plant-based eating an aspirational part of pop-culture and attracted some of today’s most influential figures to scale messages of truth and health. The Greenprint is a revolutionary movement that will surely inspire current and future generations to eat more plant-based foods than others in recent American history.” (Dean Ornish, MD, New York Times best-selling author)

"I am recommending Marco Borges’ Greenprint to all our patients. It is a must-have if you are ready to take control of your health. His expertise in nutrition, exercise, and human behavior shines through on every page of this step-by-step guide. Whether you are aiming to lose weight or to seriously improve your health, the solid information in this wonderful book - and the mouthwatering recipes - will get you and your family on track for the best of health." (Neal Barnard, MD, FACC, New York Times best-selling author)

Would have been better with recipes!

I struggled to remain engages in the dialogue. I was hoping to obtain some good meal ideas, but after not having any after chapter 4 I was bored. I'm going to try to finish it but I have lost all motivation.

Ready to go

This book is informative and applicable. I feel capable of becoming a vegan one meal at a time now and have a whole new way of looking at becoming vegan.

could not get into this

i listened, bought the book, neither could hold my attention and am rambling because amazon/audible requires 15 word? never will rate again.

Great Book Those Interested in Going Plant-Based

I’ve been WFPB for about 15 years. I wasn’t sure I’d get anything new out of this book but since I’ve heard Marco Borges on several podcasts I thought I’d check it out.
This is one of the best books I’ve ever read on the subject of plant based eating and living a healthy lifestyle. The author provides great explanations of his “laws” for following a healthy lifestyle and making a difference in our planet. It’s presented in a casual and non threatening style that makes the listener want to try it.
I learned a lot and recommend this book to anyone interested in exploring a plant based lifestyle. Even if you’ve been plant based,like me, you’ll still get something out of this book.

Your Best Ever...You Can Control It.

If I stop running long enough to implement it, this will be one of my greatest accomplishments.

Rather enjoyable

I enjoyed hearing about the green print the only thing is there was a lot of repeating otherwise very nicely done.

Awesome, Must read.

Really good book. Especially for people who are starting their Plant-Based journey. And just like "The 22 Day Revolution" Marco added multiple, delicious Recipes, that were simple and easy to make.

Lots of great info

Very easy to listen to but also very informative. Marco inspires confidence and ease with transitioning to PB.

This book should be in every house

I have both the Audible version and the hard copy version of this book. It is that good. Marco Borges is someone I have a lot of respect for and this book did not disappoint.

lots of good did you know info!

Narration was good information was really good in enlightening me to what's going on with our food system and our food. Toward the end it seemed like the last hour or so became repetitive and seemed to me like I was hearing the same thing over again from the 1st few chapters. Other than that a good read. Couldn't find the free pdf of how to start the different levels of plant based diet, there are supposedly 3.
