| Summary: |
"Co-founder of the hip-hop music label Def Jam, presenter of the HBO television network Def poetry live shows, entrepreneur creator of the clothing fashion line Phat Farm, and three-time author Russell Simmons offers an inspiring guide to the benefits of conscious eating and veganism. In his book 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. Now, in The Happy Vegan, he 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 presents research on 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. Russell Simmons is the author of the books Do You! : 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success, Super Rich : a Guide to Having it All, and Success Through Stillness : Meditation Made Simple. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals awarded him with the 2011 Person of the Year Award. He is a native New Yorker"--Provided by publisher. |
