What I really liked about this book is its accessibility. It's not pretentious and doesn't make any magical claims. It lays out how beneficial a raw diet is and aligns it with deepening your Yoga practice. It's a quick read and I found it hard to put down because it seemed to flow pretty well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to hear an intelligent opinion between nutrition and Yoga without getting too mystical or ethereal. A very necessary and practical book for every Yoga student. Well enjoyed.

I'm so happy and elated for Fred! He was (and is) the owner of Yogashala in Miami Beach, where I was fortunate enough to study under his expert guidance when I was training to become a yoga instructor. In a world where so many people talk the talk but never actually "walk" it, Fred truly walks and lives by what he preaches. He gave me honest, heartfelt advice not only on my yoga practice, but also on living a most healthy lifestyle based on raw food. Fred is certain to become the world's most authentic holistic yoga guru who's destined to enlighten us with his hard earned knowledge and expertise. Go buy this book, Fred Busch knows what he's talking about. Thank you Fred! from Stephany :)

This book is a must read for anyone who wants to know about the benefits of a raw food diet and yoga.

I enjoyed this book very much. It was easy to read and every point that Fred makes about yoga and the raw food diet makes perfect sense. If there was one thing that I got out of this book is that it completely opened my eyes about how bad we treat ourselves by eating processed foods and animal products. I like the illustrated yoga poses to help guide me in my daily yoga routines. There is also raw food diet recipies in the back of the book to help us merge into a healthy nutrition lifestyle.

Thanks Fred

I'm so excited and inspired after reading your book. It is so down to earth and concise. I love the whole thing. The foods to eat and not eat sound so logical and easy to do. Thank you so much for your commitment to people's well-being and for what ever it took for you to write this book.

This book is short but so packed full of valuable information that it is almost hard to believe. Everything is explained so clearly and Fred's attitude is one of patience and compassion.

Although this book has very good advice about the raw vegan diet and yoga in general, it makes claims that are scientifically unsubstantiated. There is NO evidence that drinking tea is not healthy, the research shows that it IS high in antioxidants. I attempted to look up some of Mr Busch's claims in the nutritional literature and could find anything to back them up. I also don't like the fact that it promotes E3 live, a nutritional product which is not approved by the FDA. This book promotes the author's personal agenda ather than solid science- based nurtitional knowledge.

Great read and provides advice to live by. Provides readers with the true essence of what is necessary to achieve optimal health and happiness. Well written and inspiring easy read! I have urged others to purchase, as it is not very time consuming but very insightful and informational!

I had the wonderful opportunity to personally take Fred's inspiring yoga teacher training, and the same kind of humor, compassion, hard-earned wisdom, and logical common sense he uses in his lessons, are compacted in this quick easy to read introduction to holistic living. As is stated in a Notice on one of the first pages; this book is a reference and option, for better living not a medical manual, however when we take a moment to contemplate our lives and the amount of stress, physical pain, or illness that we endure the possible lack of energy that may come from what is in our diets, or how we abuse our bodies, it makes sense to at least try a different option to what we've always been doing, especially if you find yourself dependent on modern medicine for survival. In this book you learn how exercise, diet, and even meditation can heal you and release you from a cycle of bad habits. Fully equipped with easy to follow drawn out sequences, easy delicious recipes and even a daily menu guide in the back. Believe me this book is compact but still very insightful, an excellent read.

Great book. Such a delightful reading for health-conscious people, celebrating human body and mind. It is lovely introduction into the raw food diet, while it does not push you into this lifestyle. But the main idea is not eating Raw, but to take care of your body and EXCERCISE without hurting yourself. You will find smart sequences of yoga positions, even sample (yummy!!!) 5-day menu. Although not all the ideas have scientific backup (see review with the 'tea comment'), the book follows good sense and with a tiny bit of belief in yourself the 'Clear & Definite Path' will tinkle your mind and give you fresh ideas how to life healthier (better) life.
Go ahead and indulge!

I found this book not only enlightening but also inspiring and empowering. Fred Busch's writing style makes the subject of healthiness, through whole-body exercise and natural foods, a delight to read. The concepts explained in the book are presented in a simple yet comprehensive way, his facts are well sustained, it is easy to read and simple to understand. Many books present a lot of theory, and research studies, but very little on how to actually incorporate something new into our lives; this book has a whole section dedicated to this subject, I found that section to be very empowering. I would recommend this book to all those interested in treating themselves to a good read, and a better life on a day to day basis.
