Listening to Wild Dolphins: Learning Their Secrets for Living with Joy

This book has opened up an entirely new world to me. Before I got read this book, I just thought that dolphins were simply intelligent mammals, such as humans (and perhaps even moreso). But after reading this book, I've learned that the dolphins have the gift of telepathy, as well as know how to have fun, and how to help humans with the same aspects. And after reading the section where Sandoz talks about the cetaceans knowing her wherever she went... it just... well, it just made me feel warm inside to know that. This book is excellent material, and belongs on the shelf of any dolphin lover.

Bobbie Sandoz speaks from the position of one of the fortunate humans who have been able to forge a relationship with dolphin families. Her proximity to them as a resident of Oahu and her acceptance of them as her teachers has allowed an ongoing interaction known to only a few with the resources necessary to communicate their messages to a global audience. In my own contact with the cetacean world, I have been taught many of the the same lessons Bobbie has so eloquently set forth as her personal teachings. It is so rewarding to be able to bear witness to the latest emergence of the human-dolphin connection, which has existed for many centuries, and is at last again achieving prominence in the collective consciousness of humankind. I encourage Bobbie's other readers to study and consider her listing of the dolphin's gifts and the insights she has gleaned from them. The previous reviewers have written some wonderful praise for her book, but I could not resist my desire to add mine to the growing number of people who have been given the chance to benefit through the reading of this impressive synopsis of dolphin healing and teaching. The appendix of the book contains concise guidelines for interaction that will help anyone desiring to establish better communications, and a list of additional resources which are very useful and illuminating. Her courage in speaking out in regard to telepathy evokes my admiration and support, as this is a real and repeatable phenomenon which can be experienced by anyone with a sufficiently open mind. If you're a dolphin lover, buy this book; it is destined to become a classic in its field.

Found this pearl almost by accident as I looked for a book to captivate my mind and heart. This book speaks to the power of JOY. Sandoz uses her real life experiences swimming with the irrepressible wild dolphins to engage us toward reawakening our capacity for joy - every day.Her work with dolphins in the wild might well be compared to Dianne Fossey's work with gorilla's in the wild. Sandoz is shows remarkable courage, wrapped in wit, wisdom, playfulness and knowledge.

This is an easy flowing book to read. Bobbie Sandoz uses her experience with the dolphins to teach us to search for joy and happiness. She also makes us aware of our need to be more in touch with our precious natural environment and how we should avoid destroying it. A must read for anyone who loves the ocean and its sea life as I do. You do not have to be an expert on dolphin life to thoroughly enjoy this book. It brought to me an awareness of the need to put more joy in my own life.
