info_outline[Part ] Breaking the Trance – Vystopia and The Cube of Truth
Family and friends often resist seeing videos of cruelty and refuse to even talk about it. Why is it easier for people to view animal cruelty in the Cube of Truth than listen to friends and family about where their food comes from? I believe it is because people are in a social trance i.e. the societal programming they don’t even realise they’re part of.

=========================
Clare Mann is a vegan psychologist, communications skills trainer and the author of several books, including Vystopia: The Anguish of Being Vegan in a Non Vegan World. She became vegan 16 years ago, after realizing 30 years of vegetarianism was totally inadequate if I wanted to do everything possible to not use or exploit animals. The skills she acquired through a successful career as an organisational psychologist, university lecturer and speaker, are now applied to help vegans become confident, hopeful vegan conversationalists who are ushering in a kinder vegan world. Having lived with the Burden of Knowing vegans are so familiar with, she stood up to the medical world that diminishes our anguish as unnecessary. She therefore coined the phrase Vystopia and now helps vegans all over the world develop powerful ways to become vegan change makers. Learn more at https://veganpsychologist.com
