Mind Matters

I was familiar with Amy Sutherland since I had read her earlier book about cooking contests. When I got her later book, What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage: Lessons for People from Animals and Their Trainers, I was equally impressed. She spent a year interacting with professional animal trainers and then began applying what she observed in dealing with her husband, friends, family--even people behind her in line at the bank. She gives all the basics of behavioral psychology in a very easy-to-read manner. Her use of examples from her own life shows that the techniques really do work quite successfully on husbands and other two legged animals.
