""The author writes from not only his heart, but from his soul. Examples of events in his own life are paired with the lesson or lessons he learned, and examples of how the reader can include those practices in their own life. A book well worth adding to your library."" --Paula Morhardt, author of the Through the Garden Window series ""A power-packed supply of profound, yet extremely commonsense wisdom. It's an all-purpose owner's manual on how to be human. Every page uses simple lessons from nature to show us how to be more true to ourselves, better with others, and how to live a life that's happier, healthier, and whole. --Helga Hedgewalker, artist and co-author of Color A Magick Spell and 26 Picture Spells to Color and Manifest ""Wisdom from the Woods is written for all who seek to expand their sense of spiritual awareness by exploring their innate connection with Nature. With stories and images taken from everyday experiences, Dr. Langenfeld guides the reader in a friendly, conversational way."" --Paul B. Rucker, visionary artist ""Dr. Langenfeld is a professor of psychology whose writing is accessible enough to put anyone at ease. He uses simple language to discuss complex subjects and expresses deep wisdom in a very conversational style. Wisdom from the Woods is as delightful as it is thoughtful."" --Thraicie Hawkner, Founder of The Eye of Horus shop ""A series of reflective observations of the experiences of nature that do not always unfold as expected. These reflective experiences bristle with implicit, occasionally explicit, suggestions of the paths to renewing oneself through one's connection with nature."" --Richard Duus, PhD, author of Thinking of Thinking ""Long ago, humanity stopped listening to the rest of the world. In Wisdom from the Woods, Mark Langenfeld resumes the conversation."" --Steven Posch, The Paganistan Blog ""Through a series of easy-to-read vignettes, Wisdom From the Woods uses real-life experiences to contextualize common problems and issues that face us all. Dr. Langenfeld's sincere interest in helping people achieve personal wellness is evident as he shares lessons learned through his appreciation for nature."" --John E. Will, Ed.D., President of Northwood Technical College
