This books starts with learning the Wisdom of the Wolf and goes well beyond explaining how being in a group, is better than going alone "A wolf alone can be killed, but a pack will survive". Learning you learn to apply similar strategies to personal life and business life. Even in family life, day by day, living with your beloved ones, you can apply some of the aspects written here, like mutual respect, and more. Would recommend.
I think this is a great resources for people in general looking to learn to lead or become better leaders. As I'm a business owner and am consistently dealing with both workers and clients, some of the advice and resources in the book were a great help.

There’s a reason ancient fables used animals to teach life lessons—sometimes it's easier to see ourselves clearly when we’re not staring directly into a mirror. That’s what this book taps into. By using the wolf pack as a model, it frames leadership, adaptability, and connection in a way that feels instinctual—because it is. This book leans into that, showing how the dynamics of the pack reflect so many things we already do, often without realizing it. The real-life case studies and reflective exercises only make it more powerful.
A well-written, intriguing self-help book using wolf-like metaphors to guide the reader’s quest for leadership skills. The author’s underlying theme is, like a wolf, we must learn to balance self-reliance with collaboration. The book is replete with useful metaphors comparing our human challenges with those of the wolf. Emphasis is placed on the importance of adapting to our rapidly changing environment in order to survive, and the importance of working with others to achieve this. I recommend the book for its valuable metaphors and intriguing wolf, Thorne. Interesting that I am retired from the business world, yet find the book useful in my everyday senior life.

I especially loved how it emphasized the importance of adaptability and resilience – something we all need in today's ever-changing world. One of the things that makes this book stand out is that it's not just about theory. It's packed with practical strategies and actionable steps you can take to improve your own leadership skills and build stronger relationships. Whether you're in a leadership role or just trying to navigate the complexities of everyday life, this book offers valuable insights and a fresh perspective.
I like how the author uses the wolf as a great example of strength and leadership in everyday life. I love the quote "The lion may be strong, but the wolf won't do circus tricks". Great book.
