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.
