Valeria Teles interviews Dr. Will Tuttle — the author of The World Peace Diet: Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony
Dr. Tuttle will be discussing some of the main ideas in his best-selling book, The World Peace Diet, which has been called one of the most important books of the 21st century, and has been published in 16 languages. It provides the foundation of a more conscious society based on understanding the consequences of animal agriculture.
As editor of the book Circles of Compassion, which discusses the interconnectedness of social justice issues, as well as of Buddhism and Veganism, and author of a book on developing intuition, he explores and illuminates the invisible connections between our culture, our food, and the source of our broad range of problems—and the way to a positive transformation in our individual and collective lives. Anyone wishing to understand the big picture of our culture and why we have the unyielding dilemmas we face, and how we can solve them, will be fascinated by these provocative, challenging, and ultimately inspiring ideas.
Dr. Will Tuttle, visionary educator, has presented widely throughout North America and worldwide. A 40-year vegan, he is the author of the #1 Amazon best-selling book The World Peace Diet and is a recipient of the Courage of Conscience Award and the Empty Cages Prize. He is also author of the recent book, Your Inner Islands: The Keys to Intuitive Living, as well as editor of Circles of Compassion: Essays Connecting Issues of Justice and the newly-released Buddhism and Veganism: Essays Connecting Spiritual Awakening and Animal Liberation.
Devoted to cultural healing and awakening, he is a former Zen monk and Dharma Master in the Zen tradition, and his Ph.D. degree from the University of California, Berkeley, focused on educating intuition and altruism in adults.
He has taught college courses in creativity, humanities, religion, and philosophy, and is also a composer and concert pianist. He is noted for his clear and inspiring presentations, and is featured in many documentary films, including Cowspiracy; A Prayer for Compassion; Vegan: Everyday Stories; and HOPE: What You Eat Matters.
