Publisher's summary

Master entrepreneur, original hip-hop mogul, and three-time New York Times best-selling author Russell Simmons offers an inspiring guide to the benefits of conscious eating and veganism.

In the New York Times best-seller 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.

Great book, learned a lot.

I love that I could listen to as I worked or was on the road. Russell really did give you a look into what is done to the animals of this world. So real! I love that he don't leave you hanging on how to get on the vegan path and he walks you through how hard he knows it is to make the change, but as you listen on, you understand why and how to do it. The book is just amazing!

Read It!!!

As I started to read this book I became very food conscious of what I was putting in my mouth and how it would effect my body. I really observed that chicken nugget/burger. As I'm writing this review. I have a container of veggies (carrots, celery, cucumbers, cauliflower & broccoli w/dip. Watermelon , grapes and an apple along with 1liter of water. I am proud of myself. You will be too! Awesome insight. Great information And history behind it.

Very Inspirational!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Full of insights into the farming industry but not too preachy. I would highly recommend it!

Loved it!

I've been vegan going on 4 months and never felt better. I've lost 15 Pounds and counting. Just more reassurance this was the best choice for me and the in site on yoga tying directly to it is motivation to start that as well.
