How can we as animal advocates best help nonhuman animals? This is a question that gets thrown around and debated passionately among those who care deeply about animals. Many fall within different “camps,” claiming that their particular approach is more “effective” despite a lack of any meaningful or peer-reviewed scientific study. Often, claims of effectiveness are not grounded in any particular theory of behavioral change and may actually run counter to the clinical and scientific literatures about how change occurs for other behaviors. Motivational Methods for Vegan Advocacy applies principles and methods from the field of clinical psychology to enhance the potential impact of the animal advocacy efforts of individuals and groups. This work is based on the premise that animal advocates are the change-makers and will help determine whether this movement succeeds or fails. Fortunately, there are tried and tested models and strategies that have been shown to help create true, internal, long-standing behavioral change for a range of problem behaviors that include unnecessary violence. Dr. Casey Taft discusses these methods and illustrates how they can best be applied in preventing the needless harm inflicted upon animals.

Will you be making it into a DVD form?
You mean audiobook?
As a matter of interest, I am in the process of making an audiobook – so, please, keep visiting our website – see my reply to Marcella Smith in this list- ( See Youthevity.com for details & excerpts- & feel free to spread the message – Veganomics AHOI!) Greetings from Western Australia!
Dear co-veganist – I have developed an easy-to-follow cool vegan diet concept for friends , family & summer guests : the ‘Yanchep Diet’, here in Western Australia, beautiful Outer Perth, right on the Indian Ocean I can be of any help re : DVD form : I am a vegan book author myself, and I know that vegan books are are as rare as hens’ teeth ! But I think I should mention my own (rather quirky) self- published e-books on the internet: Googleable under ‘Colour Eating Without Heating’ , and ‘Colorific Manifesto for Women’s Wellness & Girth Control’ – which I can offer at under-self-cost price ..
Anyway, please do visit our not-for profit website for browsing and’or contacting contacting: Youthevity.com Look forward to hear from you..
This book has been very helpful. The information is relevant, concise and straightforward. I particularly liked how it explained that being assertive doesn’t mean skirting around the issue (animal use) or offering incomplete solutions (eg reduceatarianism), but by the same token means discussing things calmly, without demeaning or dismissing people.
FYI – I ordered the free kindle sample from Amazon.com and it was corrupted somehow. Have tried it several times. Please let me know when it is fixed if you can as I have several people I want to share it with.
I can’t recommend this enough! I have seen people go vegan as a result of its methods.
Excellent book, I will be advocating this book as much as the movement. Thank you.
This book inspired me to find my voice for the animals. Having positive interactions about veganism is far easier than I thought. This book provides the foundation to do just that. Thank you!
