A tremendous collection of interesting, heartfelt and inspiring statements from dozens of people around the world. Short statements - only one page long and so we zip through this beautiful book. Beautiful because it also contains some very fine photos of people and animals in love. I wish everybody I know would read it.
The Vegan Truth
By Bonnie E. Croker - September 1, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is a must read for vegans and anyone who is considering becoming one. In fact I believe it will convert many people who never considered or doubted the value of veganism. Each essay was written with passion and conviction. Each one uniquely sheds light on the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the vegan truth. The truth is, the misery and suffering humanity inflicts upon animals is wrong. There can be no peace on earth until all sentient beings are respected and free to live their lives. There is no superior species. There is only one species who falsely believes in their own superiority. Read this book. It will grip your soul.

This book helps me relate to so many people around the world. A lot of these essays are able to say in the perfect words what I could never really describe feeling as a vegan, helping me to understand my feelings better, introspect, and be in a better position to talk to other people about veganism. ~ For NON-VEGANS, this is a great book to read because it gives you true insight into why people actually choose to live a vegan life. What you find may be actually VERY different from what you ever thought veganism is about. Neither is veganism an exclusive club, an elitist group, or cult, nor it is some mystical, ascetic practice that is supposed to be hard to do. Anyone and everyone can easily start being vegan. People from all sorts of professions, ethnicities, countries, age groups, and societies are going vegan all the time. Firefighters, lawyers, 3-year olds, 60-year olds, teachers, engineers, doctors...you name it! I hope you'll read this book to undo all the misrepresentation of veganism that has been spread by celebrities and other health/nutrition/diet personalities. ~ And of course for vegans, this is a great read as well. Just through the simple pages of a book, you become instantly connected at a beautiful level to all those other people around the world that have come to the same basic realization as yourself.

It is one of the most inspirational books I have ever read!
By Irx - 9 November 2015
Format: Paperback
It is one of the most inspirational books I have ever read! Reading it I constantly felt like: "This essay is so good, I completely agree. Oh, this is even better, I want to share this. No, I'll share that one. No this one. Oh wait, this is good too! Oh, I can't decide...But what I can do is tell you to read it too! I think from now on every time I feel sad or overwhelmed by our world that is not becoming vegan quick enough, I'll just open this book and read any essay. Because then I will know that there are lots of people all over the world who do care and who are doing everything they can to make the world a better place for everyone. I love the design of the book but I wish it would be smaller. I would love to carry it around with me and put in in my bag, so that I could read it wherever and whenever.

Format: Paperback
People who choose to embrace a vegan lifestyle have much in common with most others; especially in recognizing the right of all sentient animals to be treated with respect and justice. Vegans take this widely accepted philosophy to a higher level -- by not consuming, wearing, using, or otherwise exploiting animals as far as reasonably possible. ~ As the author states in her introduction: "It was an unexpected pleasure to see that those who have a deep understanding of the vegan ideal emerged from every corner of the globe, demonstrating that the commitment to being vegan is a phenomenon taking root from Portland to Poland, from Hollywood to Hawaii, and even in countries with economies largely based on animal exploitation." ~ Further, she notes that veganism is "a philosophy that is beneficial for the whole, inclusive of the entire planet and all its inhabitants, and a hope for our future." Indeed it is. ~ Please get this wonderful compilation of short essays from around the world and share them with your friends and family. The book is not just for vegans. Rather, it is quite literally for everybody.
A super-powerful book that beautifully expresses the true meaning and importance of living the vegan way of life.

I've only gotten halfway through the book and I've already highlighted so many memorable quotes that my book is very yellow inside. It's nice being able to read what this lifestyle means to so many others, too. Having changed to a vegan life about 5 years ago, it's the best decision I've ever made. Knowing no animal suffers in order for me to share this planet with them and having the best health check-ups ever proves over and over to me that this is the solution for all the misery and suffering we see today around us. I'm so thankful I ordered this book and I hope it inspires others to make the leap!
