With beautiful illustrations from artist Monica Armino and an extra factual section about wolves and their environment, this book is perfect for animal lovers. Inspired by a true story, A Wolf Called Wander is about family, courage and survival. Will he find the courage to survive all by himself? The journey Swift must go on is long and full of peril for a lone wolf, and he'll need to take every chance he can. Alone and starving, Swift must make a choice: stay and try to eke out a desperate life on the borders of his old hunting grounds, or strike out and find a new place to call home. Swift lives with his pack in the mountains, until one day his home and family are lost. I feel a howl deep inside, but dare not let it out.

"And to understand ourselves - what we are made of, what motives drive us, and what goals we dream of - involves, first of all, an understanding of our evolutionary past.

In The Evolving Self, Csikszentmihalyi looks beyond happiness to consider what we need to grow as individuals and as a society. When we are in "flow," the activity involves, concentrates, and absorbs the body and mind and we lose our awareness of time. In the book, Csikszentmihalyi observed that the activities which give us the most satisfaction in life are those that engage our psychic energy in increasingly complex and challenging tasks, such as mountain-climbing, painting, playing an instrument, figure-skating, or solving a difficult business problem. This book is presented as a sequel to Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's influential 1990 bestseller which summarized his many years of research into the nature of happiness.
