What the Animals Said to Me

When Michael Murphy lost his faculty position at a Midwest university, the last thing he expected was to be entering the decidedly non-academic realm of psychic communication with animals. But, this is exactly what happens when someone gives his wife a book on the subject, and he finds himself inexplicably drawn halfway across the country to take courses at Spring Farm in upstate New York. At first, Murphy's success at getting messages from the animals is unimpressive, but when the former Writing Instructor decides to use an unusual writing technique in his interactions, he gets a flood of information from the llama, goats, ponies, donkeys, and horses at Spring Farm. In the final chapters he gives step-by-step instructions for using his unusual technique for conversing with animals through writing and delivers messages to his readers from two of his wisest animal teachers.
