From the Inside Flap

Learn skills to develop better connections with animals, both wild and tame.

Since ancient times, humankind has understood that animals serve as a link to the intuitive and to the Divine. In today’s hectic, fast-paced world, we have lost this important connection. Now, with What Animals Can Teach Us about Spirituality, you can rediscover it and tap into your spiritual nature in new ways.

This useful and inspiring book will open up possibilities for more sacred living through the example of creatures of all types. You’ll discover innovative approaches to understand animals, improve relationships, and connect to your center.

Diana L. Guerrero is a widely respected animal behaviorist and therapist. In this book, she explores how and why our furred and feathered friends have the ability to inspire humans, and defines the different levels of personal development vividly embodied by animal models. Guerrero gives anecdotal examples of animal behavior demonstrating the lessons you can learn from creatures both wild and tame—about your relationships, community, family, and more—while shedding light on the spiritual lives of animals themselves.

About the Author

Diana L. Guerrero has worked around the world with all varieties of wild and domestic creatures. She consults and lectures on animal behavior, unusual animal careers, and related topics. Since 1978 she has worked with the zoological community, with humane organizations, and in the pet industry. Guerrero publishes Ark Animals, an Internet magazine dedicated to wild and domestic animal behavior. Her writing has appeared in publications as varied as the Journal of the American Association of Zoo Keepers, Awareness Magazine, and Golden Lotus.

Format:Paperback
This book is a great collection of stories about animals and their humans--and how animals have helped them. Chapter 8 is a valuable handbook that helps develop a better understanding of animals and improve your relationships with ALL animals.

Chapters include:
Preface: Becoming a Spiritual Animal
Loyalty of the Dog
Playfulness of the Otter
Power of the Polar Bear
Heart of the Lion
Call of the Wolf
Mind of the Dolphin
Wisdom of the Owl
Afterword: Creatures of the Divine

The book is very touching. In it the author shares her insights--which is no small task as she has worked with wild and domestic animals for over twenty-five years. She reveals many interesting animal behavior secrets and her own stories, too. (I cried when I read the Afterword when the author talks about animal souls and her journey with her beloved, Clyde.) I've purchased a bunch to give as gifts and recommend that you do, too!

Don't miss this book!

Learn From the Animals... January 16, 2004
Format:Paperback
Don't think that Diana Guerrero advocates a new spiritual fad in advocating that we humans emulate animals. Aesop knew you can't be a human in dog's clothing. Guerrero asks us to stop, turn off the computer, TV, cell phone, and most of all our mental noise, and get attuned to the fundamentals through our animal teachers. She strikes the right balance between addressing humans' shortcomings and addressing the positive and negative qualities of animals. Authoritative, with intelligent discourse on nature, zoology, animal and human behavior, and religious teachings, this book is a great addition to your library as you search for higher meaning.

A Warm and Wonderful Read January 30, 2004
Format:Paperback
A beautifully written glimpse into the psyche of both humans and animals. As a writer I enjoyed Ms Guerrero's descriptions of her personal interactions with both tame and wild animals and felt very much a part of her adventures. Prior to reading Diana's book I thought I knew my buddy, a 100lb Akita, very well. Now I not only notice my dog's subtle clues but have a greater understanding of their meaning. This is a "must read" for all lovers of the spiritual messages of nature.
