The World Peace Diet - A lecture by Will Tuttle, Ph.D. at Sulzer Public Library

FREE ADMISSION and Complimentary Vegan Refreshments!

The World Peace Diet has been called one of the most important books of the 21st century: the foundation of a new society based on the truth of the interconnectedness of all life. It is the first book to make explicit the invisible connections between our meals and our broad range of problems—psychological, social, and spiritual, as well as health and environmental. It offers powerful ways we can all experience healing and peace and contribute to a positive transformation of human consciousness.


"Use The World Peace Diet as a guide to empower yourselves and others in making dietary choices that are powerful beyond what you can possibly imagine." - Julia Butterfly Hill, environmental activist and founder, Circle Of Life Foundation

"The World Peace Diet is one of the most provocative books I’ve ever read. This is a deep book, aglow with insights that penetrate and expose the complacency of a culture that has strayed painfully far from compassion." - John Robbins, noted author

"Thought-provoking and recommended." - Library Journal

"Will Tuttle brings a priceless perspective - not only to the planetary crisis confronting us all, but also to powerful ways we each can affect it. This book is radiant with his learning and his compassion." - Dr. Joanna Macy, author, Coming Back To Life

"I am grateful for this powerful and cogent book. It has stretched my thinking (and heart) about animals, compassion, and our society." - John Mackey, founder, Whole Foods, Inc.


Dr. Will Tuttle, acclaimed pianist, composer, educator, and author, has lectured and performed widely throughout North America and Europe. He received his doctorate in Education from the University of California, Berkeley, focused comprehensively on adult intuition development. He has taught college courses in creativity, humanities, mythology, religion, and philosophy. He is a recipient of The Peace Abbey’s Courage of Conscience Award and is a Dharma Master in the Zen tradition. Devoted to cultural healing and awakening, he has created 7 much-loved CD albums of original piano music, and has written his ground-breaking book, The World Peace Diet. He is noted for his clear and inspiring presentations that often include original piano music as well as evocative animal paintings by his wife, Madeleine, a visionary artist from Switzerland.

    Shirley - As far as I saw that all his quotes have references to the sources and listed in the back of his book so it's hard for me to imagine that he misquoted something.

    I have not read the entire book but I did not find any trace of disrespect toward any religion.

    Misrepresenting is often a matter of interpretation which maybe different for the most people. However, if you feel that you have something specific you can clarify it with him directly. His website is http://willtuttle.com

    I really enjoyed hearing Will speak. Even though he spoke for about three hours, I didn't even realize that three hours had passed until it was all over.
