Born in Chicago in 1941, he earned his Ph.D. in Sanskrit from Harvard University, taught Sanskrit at the University of Toronto, and served as Projects Director of the Sigmund Freud Archives, where his research into Freud's unpublished papers led to his groundbreaking and controversial book "The Assault on Truth." Jeffrey later turned to writing about the emotional lives of animals, producing two New York Times bestsellers, "When Elephants Weep" and "Dogs Never Lie About Love." His many other books include "The Pig Who Sang to the Moon" and "The Face on Your Plate," his case for vegan living. A vegan and animal rights advocate, Jeffrey has spent decades showing the world that animals think, feel, and deserve to live safe, happy, and free. Whether you come prepared with questions or simply tune in to the conversation, Jeffrey is excited to speak with you. Don't miss out!
