Vegan Psychologist Dr. Clare Mann Interviews Dr. Michael Klaper, a gifted clinician, internationally recognized teacher, and sought-after speaker on diet and health, on the concept of her book, Vystopia.
Below read about Vystopia: The Book by Psychologist Clare Mann:
Imagine everything you believe to be true suddenly shatters. Despite everyday challenges, you’re fairly positive and believe, on the whole, life’s an adventure and people are doing their best. You may hold social justice concerns about people and the environment and when you share these, people champion your efforts.
Then one day your life takes a 180-degree turn and you feel you are living in hell, made worse by the realisation that 99% of people around you contribute to it through their everyday consumer choices. You feel you’re in Aldous Huxley’s dystopian world of darkness, cruelty, competition, totalitarianism and greed. What happened to your world?
Vystopia: The Anguish of Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World explores the world of the vegan, whose choices are seen by many as ridiculous or self‑righteous. Vystopia is the normal response any feeling human being should have after discovering the nature and extent of society’s systematised animal abuse. It’s fuelled by the trance-like collusion of non-vegans with a dystopian world they’ve not yet realised they’re part of.
Bestselling author Clare Mann, a vegan psychologist, communications trainer and existential psychotherapist, not only validates the vegan’s experience, but rejects medical labels which claim such anguish is abnormal. As a telling witness to vystopia – a term she coined in 2017 – she provides vegans with a language and toolbox to work through their anguish, and unite with others to examine the biggest social justice challenge of our time: our relationship with the animal kingdom.
Among the topics covered include:
How vystopia gets triggered in everyday life
Symptoms of vystopia
Misdiagnosis of vystopia as a mental illness by medical professionals
Why vegans question everything they’ve been told
Strategies for communicating effectively with non-vegans
How to navigate being in a relationship with a non-vegan partner

“We must wake the world up to its own cruelty and this brilliant book offers the roadmap.” – Jane Velez-Mitchell, author, journalist, JaneUnchained.com
“Clare Mann not only masterfully describes the challenges animal advocates experience living in a non-vegan world, but also offers insights into navigating these challenges based on her extensive experience as a vegan psychologist working directly with other vegans. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.” – Casey Taft, Ph.D., Professor, Boston University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry
“A useful book that helps us navigate through the challenges and find happiness as vegans in a not-yet-vegan world.” – James Aspey, animal rights campaigner and speaker
