Healing Vystopia: Finding Peace As A Vegan In A Non-Vegan World - Interview With Clare Mann

Click here to watch this interview.

In this week's video my special guest is Clare Mann. Clare is a vegan psychologist, existential psychotherapist, communication skills trainer and the author of several books, including "Vystopia: The Anguish of Being Vegan in a Non Vegan World".

She became vegan 16 years ago, after realizing 30 years of vegetarianism was totally inadequate if she wanted to do everything possible to not use or exploit animals. The skills she acquired through a successful career as an organizational psychologist, university lecturer and speaker, are now applied to help vegans become confident, hopeful vegan conversationalists who are ushering in a kinder vegan world.

Having lived with the Burden of Knowing vegans are so familiar with, she stood up to the medical world that diminishes our anguish as unnecessary.  She therefore coined the phrase Vystopia and now help vegans navigate vystopia and become calm, confident and influential communicators.

We discuss:

❇️ Our vegan stories

❇️ What is vystopia?

❇️ Navigating the challenges of living in a non-vegan world

❇️ Her work supporting vegans with vystopia

❇️ The importance of planting seeds

It was really wonderful having this conversation with Clare. Her book "Vystopia: The Anguish of Being Vegan in a Non Vegan World" is a must read for all vegans. It is also a great resource for non-vegans who want to understand vegan loved ones more.
