I have considered becoming a vegan for years, and this book gave me plenty to think about. It describes veganism in unusual and helpful ways.

This book was pretty decent. No complaints. It was full of useful information and morality. As a vegetarian, I love reading books that further promote and encourage the lifestyle choice I have made for myself.

This book is really far out there in the woo woo zone. I am sure there are some people who know what it is talking about and will enjoy it, but there are others like me who will find it just really strange. I am not posting a negative review online. Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.

I've been a vegan for about 6 months and this seemed just the book to help me with this life change. Mediation and mindfulness are something I never gave a lot of thought to nor did I think it was something I'd do, but Muelrath does a great job at slowly taking the reader through this journey to become more balanced and healthy.

I'd recommend to anyone who wants to practice mindfulness and those who need a refresher.

Also, I found this cover very pretty.

This so good! I downloaded it from NetGalley initially. But I just bought the beautiful hardback today at Books A Million. It will be a go to book in the years to come. I just love it.
If you are on the vegan path, or at least vegan curious this may be a good book for you. It has a lot of accolades from some top people in the vegan world as well. Kathy Freston, John Mackey, Gene Baur, Melanie Joy...to name just a few! I have read books by all of the above. All are exceptional if you ask me. This offers so much. Mindfulness is still a buzz word today. Everyone wants more peace.
Dr. Melanie Joy writes at the beginning, "Mindfulness if probably the most important practice we can ever undertake. The more we are mindful, or present, the more we are able to feel authentically connected with ourselves and others. The ability to be present is at the heart of all healthy relationships: with other humans, with nonhuman beings, with the planet, and with ourselves. When we are present, we relate to all aspects of our lives-including our eating habits-with greater, compassion, and health."

There are some great chapters about mindfulness, diets, moods and food, kindness, compassion, cravings, stress and anxiety. You will also find some great recipes. This really does deliver. It's a great resource for finding peace and balance.

I think Ben Bella publishes some of the best books. I am grateful to them for the opportunity to read this digitally. As I said before...I have gotten so much from it that I bought a hardback from the bookstore today. I haven't tried all the days of meditation that comes with it yet. I want to tho. It is a practice I have wanted to add for some time now. I can't recommend this enough. It is a life changer.

Change Your Mind-Change Your Brain
"What you do with your mind shapes your brain. With mindfulness practice, you do little things with the mind that leads to big changes in your brain and your experience of living."

Muelrath gives a how to on the use of the book and offers daily lessons. Every day 4 elements will be focused on.
Formal meditation, notation of the audio guide, lesson for the day, and a mindful moment, inspiration of the day.

This is a real winner. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to improve their life and health! 5 happy stars!

*3.5 stars*

I picked this book up because I'm interested in learning more about mindfulness, and because I was a vegan for a handful of years before becoming pregnant with my daughter (my constant morning sickness made it impossible to eat many of the healthy vegan meals in my repertoire). I loved both the culinary journey of veganism, and how healthy I felt while on a vegan diet, so this book seemed like the perfect inspiration to hop back into the vegan world.

I did learn more about mindfulness. There are helpful daily practices at the beginning of every chapter, and Muelrath uses her own story, as well as the stories of other mindful vegans, to show her well this lifestyle has suited her/them. There is considerably less about veganism, but to be fair, there are dozens of books out there to educate you about the healthy and ethical reasons for going vegan.

There is a specificity here, targeting an audience who suffers with eating disorders. This is incredibly important, and felt reminiscent of some of Geneen Roth's books. But ultimately, it missed the mark for me.

Thank you to BenBella Books and Netgalley for an ARC.

An interesting book on anyone interested in learning more or learning for the first time about veganism.

This book is exactly what the title implies. It is not just a book on how to be a vegan; it is not only a book on how to be a mindful being. It is what I would like to call the best of both words. If you don’t intend on becoming one of the two, I still think it would be an interesting read. However, if you are getting this book just for recipes, then I would recommend reading something else.

I do believe that the audio added throughout the chapters make this a more powerful experience. I have binge read this book, so I only grasped a little bit of what it is offering, but I plan on rereading it sometime during 2018.

I will be dedicating an entire month for that reread, where I read and test this 30-day plan. After that, I will discuss the good, the bad, and the in-between.

Till then, I am giving it 3 stars.

I received an eARC in exchange with an honest review.

A 30 day plan to follow mindful vegan......... wonderful book for weight loss........

The book is useful for those who have eating disorders. I do not have one and I thought the book addresses the problem of veganism mostly but it is about meditation, mindfulness when you have some eating disorders or cravings or you are obsessed about weight. I am vegan, I love to meditate but the book does not targeting people like me. Of course I read it till the end because I like to read about different perspectives and different people.

I loved this book. It's explanation of mindfulness was clear and really struck a cord with me, I couldn't put it down. I loved the way it was written and that its intention is for the reader to live a healthier more connected life. I didn't feel preachy about veganism, as some books can, just a guide to being more mindful around food in a more general way. As a recent convert to the plant based diet I found the recipes and mindset work really helpful, but think it could work just as well for someone who just wants to make better choices around food. You don't need to to be vegan to appreciate what this book, in my opinion. 

The book comes with a link to the meditation guides which are also excellent. I also love the cover illustration - there I go again, judging a book by its cover!

A very informative book on what is veganism and how to be a vegan. Includes recipes. I would recommend it for those who are interest in the matter but know nothing about it. As sai, very informative

I surprisingly really enjoyed this book! I was a little unsure when I requested this because books like this really aren't my jam - but I decided to go for it because I have been a devout vegetarian for four years but a struggling vegan for one and was looking for some advice/motivation to continue on my veganism.

This book was great for that as well as other mindful habits, and overall I just really enjoyed the read.

Delicious recipes and pretty, appetizing photos. One thing that makes me absolutely love a vegetarian or vegan cookbook is when they use substitutes only scarcely, and this book delivered. There is a dish for every season and occasion. A great book for everyone who wants to discover how versatile vegan cooking can be.

I loved this book I wanted more ideas on what to eat, great healthy food

Less recipes and a lot more of meditation in this book, where a ~31 days plan is laid out to help people eating mindfully and vegan. I haven't read since now this couple (vegan+mindfulness) and I found it interesting enough, but it wouldn't be easy to apply; anyway if you want to try, this book may give you a lot of help with practical tips and suggestions.

Meno ricette e più meditazione, in questo libro dove viene delineato un piano di circa 31 giorni per mangiare in modo più consapevole e vegano. Questa era un'accoppiata nuova per me (vegan+mindfullness) e devo dire che mi é sembrata interessante, ma certo di non facile applicazione. Comunque se vi sentite di provarla, questo libro é molto chiaro ed offre una serie di suggerimenti e di spunti che possono aiutare.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!
