Most books on vegetarianism focus on the external: why to choose vegetarianism, how to navigate the world as a vegetarian, recipes. With The Way Of Vegetarianism, Selfhood, And The Beyond, Steven Arthur Collier, PhD, goes a different, exciting direction. He has written a book for vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike that focuses instead on the internal, that answers the question we all must ask: "Who am I?"

Drawing on Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, Judaism, Christianity, and more spiritual belief systems, along with his more than thirty-five years as a psychotherapist (most of which as a licensed clinical psychologist), and nearly half a century of vegetarianism, Collier walks the reader through deep self-discovery, rediscovery, and self-realization. To help, he introduces his own illustrated experiential selfhood technique: The Experiential Adjunctive Selfhood Technique (E.A.S.T.). We all are victims of habit, but an expanded consciousness of the core of the self can bring about a freeing degree of choice.

Collier's writing is a celebration of a new way of being, of an end to all animal suffering, including our own, of a guidance system for both the here and the hereafter-one of less anxiety, guilt, depression, emptiness and more fulfillment, self-esteem, purpose, connection, and behaviors representative of true self.
