The Impactful Vegan

How YOU Can Save More Lives and Make the Biggest Difference for Animals and the Planet

By: Robert Cheeke

Narrated by: Alex Boyles

From New York Times bestselling author Robert Cheeke comes a new way of thinking about helping animals and the environment—and making the biggest impact possible with the resources already available to you.

When it comes to reducing animal suffering, many people aren’t sure where to start or which options are most beneficial. Charitable donations? Volunteer work? Dining at vegan restaurants? Meatless Mondays? The truth is that you have far more power than you think to make a real difference.

Inspired by the effective altruism movement, The Impactful Vegan teaches listeners how to audit their impact and follow methods that have been scrutinized, evaluated, and determined to do the most good for animals.

From trusted vegan activist and motivational speaker Robert Cheeke, this in-depth guide will show you just how easy it is to help animals and protect the Earth, by revealing:

• How to identify the best organizations and volunteer efforts
• Why supporting for-profit vegan businesses is vital
• Why some approaches to promoting animal rights and veganism aren’t helpful and, in fact, could be harmful for animals, despite best intentions
• How to choose a career path that aligns with your values and helps you meet your goals
• How influencers can build a personal brand and leverage it to promote veganism

Some of these actions are easier and more important than one might think, and armed with this knowledge, you can put your ethics into action. This book will help you help animals every day.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Impactful from page 1

I am new to Veganism, and have been trying to understand what separates a Vegan from a Plant Based diet. I came across Robert Cheeke’s story and was intrigued. The book is thoughtful, genuine, non-judging, and clear as to what being an Impactful Vegan means. It’s given me a lot of ideas for steps I can personally take to be impactful in my social circles and in the world. Empathy and Compassion rule Mr. Cheeke’s reading, and he is the real deal. I appreciate the consistent message and practical advice on how to discern giving of resources. I can’t “unhear” this message, therefore I will move forward with it.

Pragmatic and inspiring

Cheeke sorts through the confusion and emotionality in animal rights activism and gives clear direction. A must read for any advocate.

A must read for anyone against animal abuse.

I've been wanting a book like this ever since going vegan 6 years ago. Going vegan is one thing, but there's so much more we can do to help reduce all the pain and suffering we inflict on innocent animals. I always find myself thinking about how I can make more of an impact. I'm always looking for ways to be more effective.

That's where this book comes in. There's a ton of great books about veganism that are very informative about the horrors of animal agriculture. But this book is different. It's main focus is to give practical advise on all the things we can do to be more effective in bringing about change. There's many examples here that will give you ideas. And there's a lot of info about different ways we can get the word out and inspire people to make better choices.

Someone once told me about the difference between a vegan and a vegan activist. If you were walking down the street and saw someone beating the crap out of their dog, you might think it's enough to not participate in the violence. Some might say that not participating in the violence is the vegan thing to do. But if you took action to stop this person from hurting the dog, that's the vegan activist thing to do.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to make the most impact possible when it comes to reducing the pain and suffering we inflict on animals.

Practical Ideas to Be Better

Great writing as always from Robert. I’m happy to report that although I’ve heard of some of these ideas before I haven’t seen them put together so eloquently. Solid book with solid ideas to be better everyday.

Useful for Moving the Needle

I appreciate that this book makes the reader aware of which actions help the most animals. Without research, it’s easy to think that animal protests have a positive impact on the animals, but the research shows something different. Now, I feel more confident about how to leverage my time and money in a way that best helps the animals and, importantly, what to avoid so that I don’t inadvertently cause more harm to them.

Great ideas to do the most good for animals

The book inspired me to take more actions to make the biggest impact for animals. Through this book, I realize there are many small things I can do to have a huge impact.
