The Happy Vegan
The Happy Vegan: A Guide to Living a Long, Healthy, and Successful Life | Russell Simmons, Chris Morrow
1 post | 6 read | 3 to read
Master entrepreneur, original hip-hop mogul, and three-time New York Times bestselling author Russell Simmons offers an inspiring guide to the benefits of conscious eating and veganism In the New York Times bestseller Success Through Stillness, Russell Simmons shared how meditation can be used as a powerful tool to access potential in all aspects of life, having seen himself how achieving inner peace led to outward success. In The Happy Vegan, Simmons shares how once he started practicing yoga and meditation, he became more conscious of his choices, particularly the choices he made regarding his diet. Simmons first adopted a vegetarian and then vegan diet, and almost immediately began to experience the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of eating green and clean. He delves into research about mindful eating, the links between stress and poor eating habits, the importance of listening to your body, the well-documented problems associated with eating animal products and processed foods, along with tips on how to transition to a vegan diet. Drawing on his own experience, the experiences of others, and science and research on the health benefits of conscious eating and veganism, The Happy Vegan is an accessible and inspiring guide to help others make the move toward a vegan diet and a more successful, focused, and purposeful life. From the Hardcover edition.

I should point out I am neither vegan or vegetarian. However, I am hoping that my the end of the year my diet will be primarily vegetarian at least.

Aside from the usual arguments about better health, Simmons is great about giving you ideas on how to ease into not eating meat. All the books I've read in the past have advocated cutting out all animals immediately, something that isn't easy and can set you up to fail.

Recommended!

TrishB I've been a vegetarian for over 40 years and have recently been thinking about going vegan (various reasons). I did just give up and it was hard but it was the 1980's!! 7y
mischa @TrishB I imagine it would have been way harder back then than it would be now. 😳 7y
