The Happy Vegan

Russell Simmons, a hip-hop mogul and entrepreneur, writes with Chris Morrow about how yoga and meditation made him more conscious of his choices, above all about food. Simmons first became a vegetarian and then a vegan, and soon felt physical, mental and emotional benefits. He reviews research on mindful eating, on the links between stress and bad eating habits and on listening to the body, and the problems tied to animal products and processed foods, and he offers tips for making the switch. Using his own experience, other people's stories and scientific research, he connects the diet to a more focused and purposeful life. It follows his earlier best seller on meditation, Success Through Stillness.

Charlamagne Tha God saluted Simmons for the book and said it holds plenty of information that could save a reader's life.
