The Inner Life of Animals

Love, Grief, and Compassion: Surprising Observations of a Hidden World

De: Peter Wohlleben

Narrado por: Mike Grady

Through vivid stories of devoted pigs, two-timing magpies, and scheming roosters, The Inner Life of Animals weaves the latest scientific research into how animals interact with the world with Peter Wohlleben's personal experiences in forests and fields.

Horses feel shame, deer grieve, and goats discipline their kids. Ravens call their friends by name, rats regret bad choices, and butterflies choose the very best places for their children to grow up.

In this, his latest book, Peter Wohlleben follows the hugely successful The Hidden Life of Trees with insightful stories into the emotions, feelings, and intelligence of animals around us. Animals are different from us in ways that amaze us - and they are also much closer to us than we ever would have thought.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Like The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben's The Inner Life of Animals will rock your world. Surprising, humbling, and filled with delight, this book shows us that animals think, feel and know in much the same way as we do - and that their lives are, to them, as precious as ours are to us." (Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus)

"With the same charm and clarity that drew so many readers to The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben has produced another gem. I found delight on every page, thanks to the author's rare skill at blending scientific discoveries with his own wealth of insightful personal experiences. Read this book, and never again doubt that we share the Earth with other beings living rich and colorful lives." (Jonathan Balcombe, author of What a Fish Knows)

"Animal lovers everywhere will be enthralled by The Inner Life of Animals. Find out what squirrels, deer, and other animals really do out in the woods." (Temple Grandin)

Fantastic

So interesting and fascinating and the narrator is terrific. I could listen to him read his shopping list and it will be compelling

worth it

a very enjoyable and informative listen, the whole series is definitely well worth it!

Another great read by Wohlleben

I love this author, great mix between science and fascinating animal behaviors. Helps open my eyes to the hidden world around me.

A good Interesting listen

Enjoyed the narration and the tone of the reader. Interesting viewpoints and observations of animal behavior.

Great Read about Animals Emotions and Science

Already and animal lover (so I don't eat them) and this book made me very happy to read!

Valuable, sincere, informative.

I really enjoyed the way the book was written and narrated.
It was informational and entertaining without being overbearing.
We could all use a leaf out of this guys book on perspective, how we live our lives, and how we thing of the world around us.

Imperative thinking

This book represents a beginning of modern imperative thinking; if most life is to continue to exist on earth. And to have some semblance of quality.
Strikes a path toward empathy, compassion and respect for all forms of life; which is well over due.

Reflective Anecdotes

Reflective anecdotes on various animal behavior, some of the stories felt familiar as repeats from secret lives of trees or reused through the book to illustrate different arguments. Great narration.

Perseverance

The author finally addressed “anthropromizing” his own views or observed view of animal behavior because he integrated it all exploring a sort of Aristotelian and successful definition of the soul that exists in all living creatures, though I accept his conclusion, at the three quarters place in the book, I questioned his scientific sophomoric commentary and was about to discount the whole thing. But I did walk manage to walk away with inspiration and power.

Intriguing, Cohert Arguments for a Closer Look

Fascinating exploration of the world of animals; a powerful study. Hard to put down, easy to grasp. More, please.
