Pets. Psychology. Nonfiction. HTML: How can we give animals the best life�?? for them? What does an animal need to be happy? In her groundbreaking, best-selling book Animals in Translation, Temple Grandin drew on her own experience with autism as well as her experience as an animal scientist to deliver extraordinary insights into how animals think, act, and feel. Now she builds on those insights to show us how to give our animals the best and happiest life�?? on their terms, not ours. Knowing what causes animals physical pain is usually easy, but pinpointing emotional distress is much harder. Drawing on the latest research and her own work, Grandin identifies the core emotional needs of animals and then explains how to fulfill the specific needs of dogs and cats, horses, farm animals, zoo animals, and even wildlife. Whether it's how to make the healthiest environment for the dog you must leave alone most of the day, how to keep pigs from being bored, or how to know if the lion pacing in the zoo is miserable or just exercising, Grandin teaches us to challenge our assumptions about animal contentment and honor our bond with our fellow creatures. Animals Make Us Human is the culmination of almost thirty years of research, experimentation, and experience. This is essential reading for anyone who's ever owned, cared for, or simply cared about an animal… (altro)

Temple has a unique pov on animal behavior but it really makes sense. Her goal is to give animals the best lives and the easiest deaths. The goal is to activate the positive aspects of their personalities without activating their negative emotions. It requires being aware of how the world looks like to them -- not how we think it looks to them. This could require a rewiring of our pov and our own assumptions. Well-written, clear, made me think of how many assumptions I have made when dealing with animals. Highly recommend. (

I've heard and read so many good things about Temple Grandin and was therefore quite excited about finally reading one of her books. Unfortunately, I was completely bored by it. The book had such a condescending tone . In many ways, it was nothing more than a training manual on the "proper" ways to handle animals; be they pets, livestock, wild, or zoo animals. When she wasn't talking down to the people who were doing things wrong, she was busy tooting her own horn and singing her own praises. Boring ! (

I thought I would skim through this book. However, I found every subject she covered fascinating. As always, Grandin is insightful. Her research and opinions definitely changed the way I treat and look at animals. It will also change the way you eat. (

Really interesting parts about behavioral science. But after a while feels like the book would be more interesting for a farmer than a consumer like myself.

Still, this was a decent follow-on to Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. (

Any Temple Grandin book is worth reading to open up your mind to different ways of thinking and how you may treat others with different 'learning' abilities. (
