Ignore, Egomania: “The Book I Wish I Read Sooner”

One of the best pics I've ever taken.


Note: Today is the fourth anniversary of going off oh-pea-oyds. I was on them for almost 8 months after the fall. I am still on Pregabalin (nerve med) and probably always will be.

Below: New review at Amazon and email. Note that you can read / share the book for free.

Losing My Religions is essential reading for anyone in the animal rights space. Matt's reflections on dogma in the early vegan movement really hit hard because surprisingly not much has changed. The book offers honest lessons on mistakes we keep repeating - ones new advocates could easily avoid by learning from the past. Most of all, it’s a powerful reminder that living compassionately isn’t as simple as continuing to yell 'go vegan,' but about actually working to build a better world - for everyone, including those who don’t share our mission.”

Email from Germany:

”I came across your book "Losing My Religions" - quite shocking, all the misfortunes you’ve had with accidents and near-death experiences! I hope you're doing reasonably well now. :/ 

”It’s also very unfortunate that you've experienced all these betrayals - sadly, not too uncommon both within and outside the vegan bubble.”
