The less is more philosophy is central to the minimalism movement today, and it's where it resonates with veganism. If minimalism is concerned with living with less for your spiritual wellbeing, then that extends to the impact you have on the environment as well. Minimalists consume less and buy less, meaning that their eco-footprints are lighter; but eliminating your consumption of animal-derived products is one of the most significant ways of reducing your eco-footprint, as animal products have greater emissions than plant-based products per unit of weight. In addition, if you want your lifestyle to bring the most meaning it possibly can to your life, then the ill-treatment and abuse of animals in various exploitative industries isn't going to bring you any joy. Most vegans are interested in environmental issues, as the ecological benefits of a vegan lifestyle are often significant imperatives to individuals making the transition. So, minimalism often appeals to those of those who want to live our lives as cleanly and simplistically as possible. In this book, you'll learn about -Minimalism and Veganism -Benefits of a Minimalist Plant-Based Lifestyle -Food to Have or Not On a Minimalist Vegan Diet -Minimalist Vegan Recipes… (más)

A very interesting plan for our lives that the author believes will give happiness not only to others but to ourselves as well. As an adult David Dunn, discovered that with giving-away to others comes an inner glow of pleasure that is beyond calculation. Mr. Dunn is not speaking about giving money, although that may sometimes factor in, but rather of giving small spontaneous acts of helpfulness, compliments, appreciation, noticing, and thankfulness. In his book he gives examples of how small acts of goodness can release a power of healing, again in both directions--giver and receiver. One chapter relates how showing interest in someone's hobby or vocation can open up a fascinating window into another life. Most of us are too wrapped up in ourselves to show such a sustained interest in others. Mr. Dunn is very much in favor of sending notes, something our age does not appreciate, but we have other numerous ways now to quickly communicate our thanks or compliments. Three things he stresses: be spontaneous, don't expect something in return, and it takes practice to perfect this art of happiness giving and receiving. ( )
