OMG HIS VOICE! There's reading and then there's Mr. Ziglar reading! That drawl of his- and of Dirty Dawg's- really added flavor and life to the whole book. I could listen to him forever. He really does wound like that in person, so it was extra great for me to listen to him. IF you want to read this book, LISTEN to it instead! I would compare this book to several really important books in my life, such as the Bible, for sure! Also, most of my psychology text books and military leadership books. For obvious reasons, these books parallel Conversations with My Dog to the tee. In a fast-paced world, driven by material achievement and the fear of loss; clarity can seem hard to find. Sometimes answers can come from the most surprising sources. When the author found herself confronted with challenges, she discovered, to her surprise, that wisdom came not from a philosophical master or spiritual guide, but her puppy named Monty. On the road with him, she learns to stop and ask him questions. He answers her through demonstrating the values of simplicity, fun and love of exploration. Hannah’s illustrations were created from sketches she made of Monty on their travels. These drawings provide a visual tapestry, depicting their journey together to inspire readers in finding their own path.
