If you bought How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger but haven’t read much of it yet, this event is for you.
The book is a cornerstone work of the plant-based nutrition movement and… it’s a beast! At 485 pages before the notes, it can feel overwhelming and intimidating. This is especially true as so many of us have lost the habit of reading long-form content that’s more complex than the average TikTok.
Tackling this challenge together makes so much sense!
Starting March 24th, the Plantwise Book Club is doing a 3-month “deep dive” into How Not to Die. The kick-off event of this 3-month series is free and open to anyone interested in plant-based nutrition.
Tuesday March 24th, 2026
1 p.m. Pacific / 4 p.m. Eastern
(every time zone)
In this free 90-minute event, we will:
💡 Highlight the key ideas from the book
📚 Understand where the book fits relative to other important works in plant-based nutrition
🤯 Raise some of the common criticisms of this work to keep in mind as you read
💬 Discuss the best approaches to learning from it
The replay will be available to Plantwise Book Club members.
📖 If you don’t yet have your own copy of the book, I recommend getting it from bookshop.org. Using this link for your purchase will support the Plantwise Book Club (at no extra charge to you).
