What wolves can teach us about being human

The Wisdom of Wolves highlights the values of love, family, and resilience as taught by these remarkable creatures. Wolves teach us to love our families, care for those around us, never give up, and always find time to have fun. These golden rules of wolves show their remarkable intelligence and empathetic care.

Wolves take thoughtful care of their old and injured, lovingly raise their young, and have the ability to forget everything when playing. They think, dream, make plans, and communicate intelligently with one another, behaving more like humans than any other animal.

Elli H. Radinger, a wolf expert and naturalist, shares astonishing and previously unknown facts about the lives of wolves. She demonstrates the many ways in which we can improve our own lives by learning from these fascinating beings.
