"Wolves remind us of our true social nature and the need every human has to bond with and relate to other living beings. Wolves' social structure and moral codes are based on compassion and benevolence, and their actions are heart-centered. This is true when raising their pups, caring for each other, and even when they protect their territory or hunt with deadly intensity. From an open heart we can make choices that are life-affirming, and we are conscious of how our actions affect all around us," says Teo in his remarkable new book The Wolf Connection, What Wolves Can Teach Us About Being Human released this week from Atria Books. Notes Teo, "Drawing from biology, ecology, mythology, anthropology, coevolutionary history, behavioral sciences, and spirituality, we have created instructional techniques based on wolf behavior that can lead humans to greater self-understanding. This puts us in courtside seats to witness the miracle of the human-wolf connection every day."
