While I'm traveling, I thought I'd share books to improve your life and our planet.
After I read Colin Campbell's book, The China Study, and John Robbin's book, The Food Revolution, I became a vegan. Since that time, I'm a near-vegan, occasionally eating fish. Highly recommend both books.
The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm; a 1956 classic that goes beyond modern ideas of love, such as: exchange of attractive qualities like a business arrangement, objectifying a "love" interest, and a focus on being lovable instead of acting loving--to suggest ways to achieve personal and societal love.
Animal Factory by David Kirby is about the threat of industrial pig, dairy, and poultry farms to humans and the environment. It lays out a good case for watching what you eat and where you buy your food. Animal Factory's release on March 2, 2010 by St. Martin's Press, shall be a boon to more sustainable farm practices, not to mention, better eating habits.
Animal Factory shares the caliber of insight as these nutritionist giants, with a fresh perspective secured in investigative journalism.
True Green Life in 100 everyday ways by Kim McKay and Jenny Bonnin is put out by National Geographic--which is to say, quality upon quality. My first thought: This book should be in every green hotel's guest room to spread ideas and new habits to sustain our population and natural resources.
Influencer: The Power To Change Anything. I saw one of the authors on a book TV show, and was blown away by their studies and common sense approach. I bought the book (downloaded on my Kindle) and immediately started applying lessons learned.
