Animal Wisdom

Learning from the Spiritual Lives of Animals



Animal and pet lovers, animal-rights activists, and fans of Jane Goodall and Rupert Sheldrake will be deeply touched by this heartwarming book revealing the profound life lessons we can learn from animals, once we learn how to communicate with them as beloved other beings.

How is it that pets are able to travel thousands of miles through unknown territory to reunite with their beloved humans? How can dogs detect cancer with up to a 98 percent accuracy rate, and foresee epileptic or diabetic seizures in their owners? How do animals seem to know an earthquake is coming long before the world's best seismologists?
In Animal Wisdom, veterinarian and animal advocate Linda Bender offers a wealth of amazing stories and research-based evidence indicating animals have deeply perceptive—even extrasensory—abilities. She shows us that animals are extremely perceptive, intuitive, and psychic and provides step-by-step practices for honing your natural ability to communicate with them, so that you too can learn to understand their urgent messages about peace, happiness, and the future of the planet. Animal Wisdom is for animal lovers and anyone who seeks a deeper, more spiritual connection to these beautiful creatures.

Praise for Animal Wisdom

"Animal Wisdom deepens our understanding of the sacred relationship between humans and animals."
—Deepak Chopra

"Linda Bender opens up a spiritual dimension of animals that many people feel intuitively but find hard to express. She is thoughtful, well-informed, and draws on a lifetime of experience, expressing her insights clearly and accessibly. This beautifully written book will inspire animal lovers and enrich their experience of animals' lives—and their own."
—Rupert Sheldrake, author of Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home

"This is an excellent book—it is substantive, a good read and a delightful one. Join a bigger world—include the animals in all our decision-making. Read this book. The animals are grateful for this book; you will be too."
—Matthew Fox, coauthor of Occupy Spirituality

"A compelling body of evidence suggests that human minds can connect with one another across space and time, but also with other sentient creatures as well. Dr. Linda Bender takes us inside these primordial connections and shows how they work toward our welfare and survival."    
—Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why it Matters
