Our Wild Calling: How Connecting with Animals Can Transform Our Lives—and Save Theirs
Our Wild Calling offers a window into a possible future for human-animal coexistence. Explores the bonds that can transform our mental, physical, and spiritual lives, serve as an antidote to the growing epidemic of human loneliness, and help us tap into the empathy required to preserve life on Earth. Interviews with researchers, theologians, wildlife experts, indigenous healers, psychologists, and others to show how people communicate with animals in both ancient and new ways; how dogs can teach children ethical behavior; how animal-assisted therapy may yet transform the mental health field; and what role the human-animal relationship plays in our spiritual health. Book makes the case for protecting, promoting, and creating a sustainable and shared habitat for all creatures—not out of fear, but out of love, pointing us toward what we all long for in this age of technology: real connections.
