Join psychologist Clare Mann and philosopher Matthew C. Halteman (author of Hungry Beautiful Animals) as they explore the inner world of those not yet vegan. Discover how understanding resistance can transform conversations into compassion, connection, and joyful change.

What You’ll Learn
  • How to reframe Vystopia as a tool for understanding resistance
  • The real reasons people hesitate to go vegan
  • Ways to engage others so choosing veganism is experienced as joyful
  • How to inspire lasting, compassionate change
