About this listen
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.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Happy Vegan to be better than the print version?
I've not read the print version but the audio version makes this book easily accessible to anyone.Who was your favorite character and why?
This book is so easy to understand. Absolutely anyone can listen to this and understand the issue. You don't need to be a vegan or even want to be a vegan to listen to this book. I like the fact that this audio book isn't about preaching to you. In fact he allows you to get to the realisation yourself. This audio book is all about raising our awareness, empathy to the world we live in and all the creatures we share it with, think and care about what we put in our bodies and the journey of that foods to your plate. This books makes you realise that our mass consumerism and excesses cannot continue and has destructive damaging and inhumane consequences. The way we are living in the 21st century is not sustainable for the human race or our plant. Something has got to change.Which character – as performed by Black Ice – was your favourite?

Excellent writing and at a pace that kept you interested all the time.Inspiring Book

I wanted to find something that would appeal to my two teenage sons also -
This audible has been fantastic for both these tasks - the delivery is pacey and brisk - full of warmth and personal stories You will have noticed, I'm sure, that there are plenty of inspired young women offering 'clean eating' guides out there but I found this a very welcome change of perspective and definitely something my teenagers felt more able to relate to.
There are plenty of facts/statistics/references for those who'd like quantifiable information and there's spiritual inspiration also.
Having given up my transcendental meditation practice more than a decade ago the very clear and straightforward instructions at the end of the book have inspired me to start again -
The reading quality couldn't be clearer-
I thoroughly recommend this book.
Many thanks audible.
Frisky and informative

Though hip hop wasn’t a huge feature, having such a respected & accomplished figure talk about his experiences and journey to veganism while being in that culture made it all the more inspiring & attainable.
There was a small section on yoga/meditation which I haven’t personally adopted (yet) but he talks a lot of sense.
I highly recommend this book, and wish more people took notice of the concepts within it - for the sake of our own health, the environment, and of course, the abused animals who suffer and die every day.
Essential reading!
