Vegan's Daily Companion by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau

Vegan's Daily Companion is a beautiful hardcover book organized as a day minder, with entries creating a complete year's worth of information. Each of the year's fifty-two weeks has six entries.

You can start reading this book from the beginning, following the days of the week through the calendar year, or reading one entry a day (except for Saturday and Sunday, which are combined). You can also read from the middle of the book, the end, or skip around from week to week as inspiration strikes. The most important thing to remember is that you can use this book however you want.

Follow a year in the life of a joyful vegan, with regular topics for each day of the week as follows:

MONDAY / FOR THE LOVE OF FOOD - A celebration of familiar as well as new foods to spark enthusiasm for eating healthfully.

TUESDAY / COMPASSIONATE COMMUNICATION - Techniques and tactics for speaking on behalf of veganism effectively and compassionately.

WEDNESDAY / OPTIMUM HEALTH FOR BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT - Care and maintenance for becoming and remaining a joyful vegan.

THURSDAY / ANIMALS IN THE ARTS: LITERATURE AND FILM - Inspiration across the ages that reflects our consciousness of and relationship to non-human animals.

FRIDAY / STORIES OF HOPE, RESCUE AND TRANSFORMATION - Heartening stories of people who have become awakened and animals who have found sanctuary.
