The Vegan Transformation: A Journey to Heal Yourself and the World
Many of us long to create healing and transformation in our lives – to thrive in mind, body, and spirit. We yearn to live authentically and fully, with a deep sense of purpose, while forging meaningful connections with others. We desire vibrant health and vitality that enables us to do the activities that give our life meaning. Scientific studies show that a plant-based (vegan) diet can promote physical health, as well as reverse many common chronic diseases. But what about the impact on emotional and spiritual well-being?
As a psychologist and vegan, Dr. Angela Crawford has been fascinated by that very question. Contrary to the common perception of veganism as restrictive or depriving, her research finds that many vegans describe a greater expansiveness in their food choices, broadening of their perspectives, and enhanced mind-body-spirit well-being.
Wherever you are on your own journey – whether you are curious about the benefits of eating more plants, or are already vegan and want to experience greater impact and peace – this book will provide guidance for your path. From research findings that illuminate the path to wellbeing, to inspiring stories of transformation, to exercises and meditations that support your journey, The Vegan Transformation offers encouragement for your own compassionate, healthy, and purposeful life.
