My Animal, My Self: A Breakthrough Way to Understand How You and Your Animal Reflect Each Other Paperback – June 11, 2013

My Animal, My Self is a book to be treasured. Ms. Williams' latest book is beautifully written and thoughtfully explains how animals have the ability to mirror their humans.Personally I felt as if Ms. Williams was speaking with me in my living room after observing life with me and my dog. The book so hit home in my own circumstance until I had to stop reading several times to dry my tears. Each chapter provided an `ah ha' moment as I reflected on the challenges I have been facing with my rescued dog over the last year or so.This book challenged me to look inside myself as to how unhappy I am and how these emotions are manifesting behaviors in my dog to whom I am closely bonded. The book provides well thought out exercises and methods to correct imbalances within the human/animal relationship.I have learned a lot about myself, my dog and our relationship. Best of all Ms. Williams' book has provided me with a catalyst for change and the exercises gave me a whole new understanding, appreciation and love for my dog.

Absolutely lovely book, telling the depth of our relationships with our animals. Joan Rivers recently passed, and in a deleted scene from a documentary, it showed her going shopping for a puppy after having to put the dog down that had saved her from suicide after the death of her husband. She said she had the gun in her lap and the dog got up and sat on the gun, let her know that they needed to stay together, so she did not kill herself. Animals will love us unconditionally, and take on our issues as a way of helping us to face them, and Ms. Williams explains so clearly how that happens. This is a wonderful book, with exercises to work on helping us communicate better with and understand better who they are and what they mean to us. She understands totally what we can learn from our animals, and helps us to see that.

This book was fast reading, I couldn't put it down. I knew animals reflect (mirror) us, but some of these stories are quite amazing. Of course animals are magnificent creatures. I recommend anyone to get this book, you will truly enjoy it. Marta Williams has done it again.

I really enjoyed this book. pet owners and animal lovers would really enjoy the insightful information Marta Williams shares regarding ourrelationship with our furry companions.

Marta Williams cuts through the confusion of talking to the anmals and guides us gently to a realization that we are all able to talk to one another. she is a great teacher.

I've now read most of what's out there in the intuitive communication arena, as well as a good deal of related material. There are very few standouts. Marta Williams is one of them. I like Marta's approach to writing about intuitive communication topics; it's refreshingly direct and concrete. Her latest book provides plenty of material to ponder in terms of how our relationships with our animals--as individuals and as communities--are a reflection of our patterns of spiritual/psychological disharmony (and harmony, though that's not as fully discussed). The book seems to assert that what is most often reflected is the harmful thinking/behavior that we aren't recognizing in ourselves. Marta and the people whom she quotes here offer the reader the option of learning how to see what our animals may be reflecting to us, so that we can change what needs changing for our well-being and that of our fellow creatures.Marta has, in her typical style, gone on from there to offer specific tools to use for effecting changes, both in ourselves and the world around us. Her techniques are flexible enough to be adaptable to the diversity of her readers' lives, but still specific and concrete enough to be practicable by even a novice of intuitive work.If there is one criticism I have to offer, it's that, given her scientific background, I hoped Marta's work would stand out in the intuitive communication field, for taking a genuinely objective approach to her topic, but it falls surprisingly short there. Like all the other I.C. authors I've read, her eagerness to convince frequently leads her to explain a phenomena with a completely subjective theory, which is held to be proven by yet another subjective theory.I.C. is a pretty subjective field in many ways, of course, but that doesn't mean we can't question our assumptions about it, or engage in honest, rational discussion about the theoretical nature of any attempt to explain intuitive experiences. Probably the reluctance of writers to do this stems from the intensity of the criticism often leveled at the I.C. community. It's hard to admit your weaknesses in front of your enemies, but I'd like to see us ask ourselves, out loud, the questions that otherwise become criticism of I.C. If we are so attached to our own assumptions that we fear to do this kind of exploration, our closed-mindedness differs not at all from that of persons in the scientific establishment, or conservative religious establishment(s), or elsewhere, that are eager to discredit I.C. for similarly fearful reasons.Stepping off my soapbox now...I still highly recommend Marta Williams' "My Animal, My Self" as an engaging, singular introduction to the phenomena of mirroring between humans and nature. I gained some powerful insights from it, and I intend to go back and reread it more slowly.

Found the book hard to put down. Would highly recommend it to a friend. Makes you really think about how we affect our animals without even knowing it.

This is an incredible book that I love giving to pet-owning friends. As always, it was shipped in time and in perfect condition.

Animals have so much to teach us! Very interesting and easy to read book.Very instructive, too. Useful book, with exercises inside.
