    About this ebook

    Many people view vegans as extreme, radical, and preachy, but veganism is not some new age hippie thing that only a few individuals engage in. It is growing in popularity, rising in numbers. As more people become vegan, most find it difficult to cope in a non-vegan world, especially when it comes to their families and friends. How to Create the Perfect Vegan Life, attempts to illuminate and assist vegans in their journey to a happier and more joyful life, with a few principles and lifestyle changes.

      Introduction

      ––––––––

      Animal agriculture is the cause of virtually all of our problems, especially when it comes to the ethics of using and killing nonhuman animals. Vegans understand this and because so, we decided not to harm them in any way.

      That is why we call ourselves vegan. The motivation for veganism is the yearning to minimize harm to other sentient beings. Our actions must align with this motivation, of loving-kindness towards animals.

      It is even more vital that we also become vegan advocates so we can all live in a peaceful world one day. This story is not about you or me, but about all of us, and what we can do in our daily lives to become happier and more joyful people.

      How to Create the Perfect Vegan Life, a motivational self-help guide for every vegan. Not only does it address the realities of what it means to be vegan, but it also teaches us how to best cope in a non-vegan world, while being more effective at promoting veganism.

      Though this book does not address every question, rather, it gives vegans the tools needed to avoid burnout, through the practice of meditation and positive thinking.

      It is disheartening to see many angry and judgmental vegans within the movement. And as such, people view vegans as extreme, judgmental, and fanatical. This gives peaceful vegans a bad name. This is not effective advocacy and deters people away from us.

      I wrote this book because of the urgency facing us in the world today, and because I too suffered from some personal and family issues the first few years being vegan. We have only one home, and we must take care of her. And because such, it is exceedingly important that we embody these ideas and implement them into our everyday lives.

      Why Vegan Advocacy is so Important

      ––––––––

      As vegans, we all want to live in a peaceful world. We all want the world where we share and cooperate with one another, where everyone is treated fairly and has wholesome food, water, and shelter.
