The Experience of Vystopia – Enemy or Hidden Asset? (Episode 6)
From Pre Vegan to Pro Vegan – A Philosopher’s Perspective on Catalyzing Transformation
Vegan advocacy can be challenging because resistance is rarely about facts alone — it’s tied to identity, belonging, and fear. In this episode of the Vystopia: Enemy or Hidden Asset? series, psychologist Clare Mann and philosopher Matthew C. Halteman (author of Hungry Beautiful Animals) explore the inner world of those not yet vegan.
You’ll learn how to:
- Reframe Vystopia as a tool for understanding resistance
- Recognize the real reasons people hesitate to go vegan
- Engage others in ways that make veganism feel joyful
- Inspire lasting, compassionate change
