Introduction: All I really need to know I learned from a horse -- You can't lie to a horse -- Feel can't be taught, but it can be learned -- Give him the name you want him to live up to -- Clear boundaries make happy horses -- Make the right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult -- Slow to take and quick to give -- It's not about today, it's about the rest of her life -- If you deal with an attitude, you won't have to deal with an action -- You can be better -- Don't be afraid to move your feet -- Every horse needs a purpose -- Show your other side.
Summary: Grant Golliher is what some would call a "horse whisperer," able to get a wild horse to calmly accept a saddle and a rider without the use of force. Through training thousands of horses, many traumatized or abused, Golliher was able to learn essential lessons about communication, boundaries, fairness, trust, and respect--lessons that apply not just to horses but to humans as well. It's why celebrities, Fortune 500 ex­ecutives, professional coaches, supreme court justices, and even ordinary families from around the world flock to his Wyoming ranch every year to take part in what one CEO called "the most transformational experience I have ever encountered. Horse whispering may sound like magic, but as Grant explains in Think Like a Horse, it's not really all that mysterious. The lessons he shares are as fundamental and ageless as the relationship between horses, the people who ride them, and the beauty of the West. In fact, it's an approach that anyone can learn, and should learn, in order to better understand our common humanity, overcome trauma, foster more fulfilled relationships, and unlock untapped potential in virtually every aspect of our lives. All you have to do is think like a horse.-- From Amazon.com.
