Having taken a course from Joan Ranquet a few years ago, I bought this book as soon as it came out. I now have a 2nd copy so I can loan one out without letting go of my own, which I review frequently. The book is a refresher course for me and something new sinks in deeper each time I read it. The first chapter helped me with a problem I was having with my horse at the time I first read it. A later chapter explained a puzzling change in one of my livestock guardian dogs' behavior. Yet another helped me open up and see what my llamas were trying to "tell" me. Joan understands animal psychology and knows how to help the rest of us learn it. She does so with wit and compassion. Anyone who has any kind of animal friend needs to read this book.

This book is amazing, words cannot adequately describe the amount of information contained in this book. Joan Ranquet takes you on an incredible journey through her stories to give the reader detailed information on how to develop a healthy relationship with your animal and connect with them in a way that facilitates a deeper understanding of each other. This book is about animal communication and so much more. The author discusses tips, and exercises that one can use to deepen their connection to all animals and to all life. There are many resources discussed including holistic alternatives. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

What a wonderful work by the famous animal communicator Joan Ranquet! I was hooked by the secound page of the preface. Joan helps you change your perspective on the connection between all life with wisdom and humor. The stories she reveals are facinating and I couldn't put the book down! I hope there will be more books from her asap!
enlightening and funny

Ms. Ranquet may be a great animal communictor, but she's also a really good writer. Her many stories about her work in the field are engaging and often humorous and read like the best kind of human interest stories. Whether you believe in this kind of communication with animals or not, this book gives you reason to consider the possiblities. In any case, I find myself looking at my own pets differently and feel like my relationship to animals in general has been expanded due to this books insights and guidance. It's Ranquets kind of 'thinking outside the box' that simply makes life on the planet more intriguing.
