About the Animal Book Club

Welcome to the Companion Animal Psychology Book Club, a community where animal lovers and enthusiasts gather to explore the remarkable bond between humans and animals. In April 2023, our book club focuses on delving into the captivating topic of the human-animal bond. This month's book selection will provide valuable insights into the health benefits, psychological impact, and overall well-being that can arise from our connection with animals.

“I love this book because it reminds me of our wildness, it reminds me how powerful our sense are, and it celebrates animals and humans in a way that binds us together.”–Craig Foster, filmmaker and Academy Award-winner for My Octopus Teacher.

In April 2023, the book club is reading Sentient: How Animals Illuminate the Wonder of Our Human Senses by Jackie Higgins.

This month, the Animal Book Club is reading Sentient: How Animals Illuminate the Wonder of Our Human Senses by Jackie Higgins.

From the publisher,

“Perfect for fans of The Soul of an Octopus and The Genius of Birds, this “revelatory book” (Sy Montgomery, New York Times bestselling author) explores how we process the world around us through the lens of the incredible sensory capabilities of thirteen animals, revealing that we are not limited to merely five senses.

There is a scientific revolution stirring in the field of human perception. Research has shown that the extraordinary sensory powers of our animal friends can help us better understand the same powers that lie dormant within us.

From the harlequin mantis shrimp with its ability to see a vast range of colors, to the bloodhound and its hundreds of millions of scent receptors; from the orb-weaving spider whose eyes recognize not only space but time, to the cheetah whose ears are responsible for its perfect agility, these astonishing animals hold the key to better understanding how we make sense of the world around us.”

The book club is open to subscribers to my free Companion Animal Psychology newsletter. You’ll get the details as part of your welcome emails.

Sentient is available from all good bookstores and my Amazon store.

About the Animal Book Club

The club discusses one book a month except for January and July, so we read ten books a year.

Books may cover a wide variety of perspectives, but there is a preference for humane and kind treatment of animals (and people), and for scientific or critical approaches to the human-animal bond.

New members must commit to reading and discussing at least 7 of the 10 books each year.

Separately, the Animal Books Facebook group is for posting news about new titles about animals, sharing book reviews and interviews, and for chatting about your favourite books and what you are reading now.

Membership of both groups is open to email subscribers only. If you want to join, you can subscribe to Companion Animal Psychology and look out for the email about the book groups which comes as part of the intro emails. Then you can ask to join on Facebook.
