Summary

From the world-famous couple who lived alongside a three-generation wolf pack, this book of inspiration, drawn from the wild, will fascinate animal and nature lovers alike.

For six years Jim and Jamie Dutcher lived intimately with a pack of wolves, gaining their trust as no one has before. In this book the Dutchers reflect on the virtues they observed in wolf society and behavior. Each chapter exemplifies a principle, such as kindness, teamwork, playfulness, respect, curiosity, and compassion. Their heartfelt stories combine into a thought-provoking meditation on the values shared between the human and the animal world.

An Esquire pick of best nonfiction books of 2018 (So Far).

Beautiful

I felt I learnt so much from this book gaining respect and appreciation of this much understood and often vilified animal. The stories were told with great insight and compassion. Both lovely and philosophical writing.

Emotionally thought provoking.

I loved the story of the wolves and found the whole book to be delightful, saddening, inspiring and emotional. I closely relate to wolves and love the connection between people and a species so true and pure.
I am disappointed in how humans still cant seem to progress from this backward mindset. As the obvious candidate to be guardians of our world how are we still continuing to fail so miserably at it?

Worth a listen

Narration is decent. Story is interesting, learned some quite interesting things about wolf behaviour. and the total book isn't very long, so definitely worth it.

Wonderful book!

So honest, raw and moving. I filled up with tears more than once. A beautiful insight into the lives of wolves and I hope we can all learn something from the natural world about how to treat each other better.
