Published: Nov. 14, 2023, noon

b'Todays guest is Hersch Wilson, an Interesting guy with many passions, but none more important than being with and learning from the dogs in his life. His new book, Dog Lessons: Learning The Important Stuff From Our Best Friends\\xa0shares his insights on the powerful presence of dogs in our lives and the transformative lessons they can teach us about love, loyalty, grief, and more.\\xa0\\nAlong the way, he was also a volunteer firefighter and wrote an award winning book called "Firefighter Zen, A Field Guide for Thriving in Tough Times."\\xa0\\nHe considers Dog Lessons a meditation on the truths dogs can teach us. From universal values like loyalty and curiosity to practical lessons on napping, playing, and avoiding a serious fight. It\\u2019s all pretty darn good advice.\\nOne of his big messages is that dogs help us remember that life is short and we must celebrate it wherever we can. They often help us find refuge, quiet and peace in this very complicated world.\\xa0\\nThis is a bit different from our usual untangle interviews, but I couldn\\u2019t resist since I\\u2019m a dog\\xa0person myself\\u2026and living with the love and challenges that come with my little pup.\\nResources: Herschwilson.com\\nCheck out all the free meditations at choosemuse.com/meditationstudio\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
