Vegan Transformation

Amidst the challenges of our times, many of us yearn for transformative healing in our personal lives and in the world. Through a simple, compassionate change in what we eat, we have the power to uplevel our emotional and spiritual well-being, find greater purpose and connection, and heal our planet.
 
Many of us long to create healing and transformation in our lives—to thrive in mind, body, and spirit. We yearn to live authentically, with a deep sense of purpose. We desire vibrant health and vitality that allows us to engage in life fully. And we seek meaning and connection in a world that feels increasingly disconnected. Science shows that a plant-based (vegan) lifestyle can improve our physical health and reverse many common chronic diseases. But what about the impact on emotional, mental, 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 sense of abundance and freedom. By honoring our core values and eating more compassionately and healthfully, we can experience greater emotional fulfillment, while protecting animals, humans, and the environment.
 
Through revealing surveys and interviews with vegans, Dr. Crawford discovered seven core transformations that create richer, more meaningful lives. These include:

• Living aligned with core values
• Extending compassion to all sentient beings
• Sense of purpose in creating a kinder, healthier world
• Connection with others who share similar values
• Greater emotional fulfillment and well-being
• Taking charge of health through plant-based nutrition
• Deepening spirituality and interconnectedness with all life

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 joy—The Vegan Transformation is an invaluable road map. With research findings that illuminate the path to well-being, inspiring stories of transformation, and exercises and meditations that support your journey, this book is a faithful companion in forging your own compassionate, healthy, and purposeful life.
