Honor the Animal

The human animal is in big trouble. An ecological and social storm is upon us and people are living under an enormous stress burden. Some of us are moved to activism and resistance but as author Naomi Klein famously put it 'No is not enough.' To succeed, there must be a creation of new culture, ideas, and life ways. We must be radically, ferociously, relentlessly creative. More than anything, we need high-functioning people who can sustain their capabilities in the face of intimidating challenge. By designing radically human experiences for our students, clients, patients, and athletes, we can help them maintain their relevance, strength, and competence in a high-stress world. This book is a practical, interdisciplinary guide for anyone who works with the human animal. If you’re a teacher, coach, trainer, therapist, parent, or health professional with an interest in promoting human health and performance, this book is for you.
