Imagine everything you believe to be true suddenly shatters. Despite everyday challenges, you’re fairly positive and believe, on the whole, life’s an adventure and people are doing their best. You may hold social justice concerns about people and the environment and when you share these, people champion your efforts
Then one day your life takes a 180-degree turn and you feel you are living in hell, made worse by the realization that 99% of people around you contribute to it through their everyday consumer choices. You feel you’re in Aldous Huxley’s dystopian world of darkness, cruelty, competition, totalitarianism and greed. What happened to your world?
Vystopia: The Anguish of Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World explores the world of the vegan, whose choices are seen by many as ridiculous or self‑righteous. Vystopia is the normal response any feeling human being should have after discovering the nature and extent of society’s systematized animal abuse. It’s fuelled by the trance-like collusion of non-vegans with a dystopian world they’ve not yet realized they’re part of.
“A powerful book that should be read widely, especially by those in leadership positions.” – Dr Michael Klaper, MD, physician and author
“We must wake the world up to its own cruelty and this brilliant book offers the roadmap.” – Jane Velez-Mitchell, author, journalist, JaneUnchained.com
“Clare Mann not only masterfully describes the challenges animal advocates experience living in a non-vegan world, but also offers insights into navigating these challenges based on her extensive experience as a vegan psychologist working directly with other vegans. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.” – Casey Taft, Ph.D., Professor, Boston University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry
“A useful book that helps us navigate through the challenges and find happiness as vegans in a not-yet-vegan world.” – James Aspey, animal rights campaigner and speaker
