I loved the book! I thought it was well done and factual. Great job! You obviously put a lot of time and thought into writing it. I enjoyed your writing skills and am honored to have gotten to be one of the first to read it.

If we as humans are ever to break free from the path of destruction we currently find ourselves on, it is crucial that we as a species embrace the concept of nonviolence. Veganism is a philosophy whose time has come, and in order for us to fulfill our destiny of spiritual evolution, it is one that must be recognized and adopted by every living human on this planet. Michael’s message is clear, love is the glue that connects everything to everything else, and denial of this has led to wide scale suffering for countless animals, planet wide. If we are ever to bring this planet back from the brink of seemingly inevitable despair, we must recognize animals as our brethren and realize we are here to guide and protect them, not to abuse, slaughter and gluttonously devour them, as has sadly been the case since the dawning of recorded history. The Interconnectedness of Life goes far in explaining just why we need to step back and take a look at our relationship with other earthlings, and sheds light on the daily, forced atrocities animals must endure before finally ending butchered sizzled and fried on our dinner tables.

The very essence of Interconnectedness of Life is in the name itself. The author has pen concerns, emotions, and change all in a heart warming, heartbreaking, yet uplifting book. His words are powerful and bittersweet articulating reality. A must read for all. Change is here!

I really like the book that Michael put together. I was even delighted that he called out the “junk-food” veganism. It’s nice to see Michael tackle this topic with a raw realism that forces you to pay attention. I’m also thankful to Michael for agreeing to come onto my podcast and be interviewed about his book and his journey. He was open and shared lots of information without holding back. That’s just his awesome personality. Whether you love or hate it, you will take away something of benefit from the book.

Reading the Interconnectedness of Life, you feel as though you are sitting with Michael himself as he opens his heart and tells his story of vegan awakening. In this genuine and heartfelt book, he covers all the reasons why human beings must end the exploitation and killing of animals, if life on earth is to survive. He also offers excellent references for further research. What I love the most about Michael’s work, though, is that he goes to the heart of the solution for us all. He makes it clear that our task “to create peace and heaven on earth” requires the raising of human consciousness to the highest level of unconditional love for all life. This book will help many people become vegan and thus, help bring peace, freedom and love to all beings.

I’ve known Michael for a few years and he has impressed me as a kind-hearted person who is sincere in his passion for animals and desire to help people. I read Michael’s book and it was a great job. My own books focus on holistic health and wellness from a vegan and raw vegan approach and Michael has done the theme justice. I am delighted to highly recommend The Interconnected of Life to readers who want to learn more about veganism.

This book is a masterpiece of information on veganism. The arguments are explained in a simple and deep meaningful way allowing the reader to acknowledge the universal kindness and love for all sentient beings.

Complete – If I had to describe The Interconnectedness of Life with one word, that is the one I would choose. Michael has poured his soul into this book, and as an author myself I can attest to the time and effort that it takes to write a quality book. Michael has written a book that covers every facet of veganism. This book goes further than covering just the environmental, health, and ethical reasons for living a vegan lifestyle; in addition to those three well discussed pillars of veganism Michael covers other topics such as the spirituality of veganism, human rights, and even fruitarianism, a section that I particularly enjoyed. Michael breaks veganism down into its simplest form, and covers every aspect you could think of – and some that you didn’t. Not only does this book clearly explain every aspect of veganism, but it ties the… no it connects them together. This book is Interconnectedness.

The Interconnectedness of Life was enjoyable and I found it to be well researched and full of interesting facts for both vegans and non-vegans.
