Review:
"Always fascinating... Wry, avuncular, careful and kind, Wohlleben guides us from one creature to the next" (Richard Kerridge Guardian)
"Wohlleben presents short chapter in bite-sized portions, so the reader has a constant sense of learning something new almost with every page ... The formula is provably winning. I still felt I was on a robust learning curve as subjects as diverse as motherly love, gratitude, deception, desire, shame and knowledge of good and evil were explored one by one ... fascinating" (Katharine Norbury Observer)
"Wohlleben is connecting with something big here... He truffles up some wonderful animal facts, too... Wohlleben’s empathy with animals can be touching and illuminating" (James McConnachie Sunday Times)
"Entertaining and enthusiastic" (Tim Smith-Laing Daily Telegraph)
"The Inner Life of Animals will rock your world. Surprising, humbling, and filled with delight, this book shows us that animals think, feel, and know in much the same way as we do -- and that their lives are, to them, as precious as ours are to us." (Sy Montgomery, author of THE SOUL OF AN OCTOPUS)
"[Wohlleben] neatly combines anecdotes and scientific evidence in his search for the answers to some basic questions, such as do animals feel things the way we do?... Wohlleben has no doubt that all animals have a rich inner life. By the end of this delightful, surprising book, most readers will be persuaded that he is right." (Nick Rennison Daily Mail)
"The tone is friendly and informal and the prose largely free of scientific jargon... Entertaining and thought-provoking" (Mark Cocker Spectator)
"Wouldn’t it be fascinating to know what animals think? Here, Peter Wohlleben explores a range of bestial emotions we didn’t know existed... unveiling remarkable insights into their hidden lives in the process" (Country Living)
"A fascinating read" (Sam Swannack, on COUNTRYFILE)
"Peter Wohlleben’s convincing, highly readable stories about free-living and domestic animals show there’s much overlap between how humans and other animals experience bonding, loss, and the great, shared themes of life." (Carl Safina, author of BEYOND WORDS: WHAT ANIMALS THINK AND FEEL)
