Vegan Recovery: How to Ditch the Dogma That Has Misled You and Free Yourself to Be Healthy and Happy - Softcover
Synopsis
Setting Straight the Vegan Propaganda, Once and For All!
Are you a vegan who’s considering eating animal foods again, but you’re afraid of the consequences? After months or years or even decades on a vegan diet, you’ve probably heard all the arguments: that animal products cause heart disease and osteoporosis, that animal agriculture is ruining the earth, that saturated fat will give you heart disease and meat will rot in your gut. But what if all those arguments were wrong? In his compelling new book, author Joey Lott goes through the arguments one by one, taking them apart at the roots. Everything from health to environmentalism to ethics is covered, and you’ll be left wondering why the vegan movement ever gained traction in the first place.
Learn What Humans Are Really Meant to Eat
For hundreds of thousands of years, humans have relied on animals for food. In addition, there has never been a totally vegan society. So can it really be true that humans are not designed to eat meat, as so many vegan advocates claim? Lott examines this in depth, revealing the truth about what humans are designed to eat. Hint: we’re not actually herbivores, which is why you don’t see many people—vegan or not—standing outside, chewing on grass all day!
Take Your Part in the Cycle of Life
After 17 years as a vegan, Lott knows all about the fear, shame, and guilt that can go along with wanting to quit being vegan. But having come out the other side, wiser and healthier, he shares his perspectives on life and what it really means to “do no harm.” With compassion and plain old good sense, this book will appeal to both your emotions and your intellect. As Lott points out, “we might seek to take our place in the cycle of life rather than trying to step outside of it,” which is precisely what veganism attempts to do.

About the Author
"The secret to happiness is to let go of everything - see through every assumption."
Beginning at a young age Joey Lott experienced intensifying anxiety. For several decades he lived with restrictive eating disorders, obsessions, compulsions, and an inescapable fear. By the time he was 30 years old he was physically sick, emotionally volatile, and mentally obsessed with keeping any and all unwanted thoughts and experiences at bay.
At this time Lott was living on a futon mattress in a tiny cabin in the woods. He was so sick that he could barely move. He was deeply depressed and hopeless. All this despite doing all the "right" things such as years of meditation, yoga, various "perfect" diets, clean air, and pure water.
Just when things were at their most dire, a crack appeared in the conceptual world that had formerly been mistaken for reality. By peering into this crack and underneath all the assumptions that had been unquestioned up to that moment, Lott began a great undoing. The revelation of this undoing is that reality is utterly simple, ever-present, seamless, and indivisible.
Lott's books provide a glimpse into the seamless, simple, and joyous nature of reality, offering a glimpse through the crack in conceptual worlds. Whether writing about the ultimate non-dual nature of reality, eating disorders, stress, disease, or any other subject, he offers the invitation to look at things differently, leaving behind the old, out-grown, painful limitations we have used to bind ourselves in suffering. And then, he welcomes you home to the effortless simplicity of yourself as you are.
Not sure where to begin? Pick up a copy of Lott's most popular book, You're Trying Too Hard, which strips away all the concepts that keep us searching for a greater, more spiritual, more peaceful life or self.
