TITLE: “Lead With Your Heart, Lessons From A Life With Horses”
SPECIAL GUEST: Allan J. Hamilton, MD
So what do horses have to do with family living? After 20 years of training horses, using them to teach medical students better bedside manners, and learning personal life lessons from them, award-winning author and celebrated neurosurgeon Allan J. Hamilton thinks they can teach us much about parenting and bringing the family unit closer together. According to Hamilton, “To learn from horses, it’s not necessary to ride them or own them. We all can learn through stories about them.”
In Lead With Your Heart, Lessons From A Life With Horses, Dr. Hamilton combines his understanding of the human brain with nearly 30 years’ experience training horses to offer wisdom on such universal themes as leadership, motivation, ambition, and humility.
The results are showcased in more than 100 thoughtful essays that treat working with horses as a metaphor for personal, professional, and spiritual growth.
Whether you’re searching for greater spiritual depth, seeking “horse sense” secrets for achieving more a successful life, or simply want to better understand your four-legged partner, this wise and important collection has something for you.
