More About the Author
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Under chapter headings such as "Trust", "Against Violence" and "The Good Parent" he tells stories and details case studies based on the remedial work he does with--often deeply troubled--human beings. Take the mother who had been home-educating her five daughters and beating them almost daily. She suddenly realised that something was very wrong in her life and approached Roberts for help. Or Peter--"damaged goods" and "with enough baggage for a 40 year old, let alone a boy of fourteen"--the delinquent son of criminal parents who came to Roberts for jockey training.
Roberts is a wise man. And he writes beautifully with a knack of expressing profound truths in language so spare that you don't quite absorb the enormity of what he has said unless you stop and ponder. "Genius lies in the simplest things in life", he says and "Fear is the antecedent of violence; ignorance is the antecedent of fear". His inspiring but practical book should be compulsory reading for any human being who has responsibility for, and power over, others. --Susan Elkin
Review
Praise for Shy Boy:
‘This gripping and enthralling book, which shows the traditional relationship of man and horse in a completely new light, proves extremely hard to put down whether one is a horse-lover or not.’ Country Life

monty belives that people have very similar behaviours to horses, and through his experiences, he explains how you can apply these skills in dealing with people in a more positive manner to improve many aspects of your relationships with fellow human beings.
a very thought provoking and intelligently written book which will challenge your concepts of human behaviour!
Parents do not have babies or children, they have the adults of tomorrow. If they bring their babies and children up with love, trust and respect and without violence and fear. We will have wonderful adults, a wonderful world and a bright tomorrow. This book shows you how. It is simple to follow and not prescriptive. It works.
It is rare that one person has the ability to change the world. Monty Roberts shows anyone who is prepared to read his book how it can be done.
Thank-you Monty. The world is in your debt.
It not only follows Monty's journey and observations and how he has used these in his human to human relationships but how his (and others) determination to eradicate violence from all relationships has helped countless organisation and people create environments developed on trust which has led to hugh success for all.
Well worth reading if you want to put a spot light on how you deal and interact with others or are just interest in learning more about Monty's life and opinions. I want to give my boss a copy!
Containing many valuable, positive and peaceful ways to live, using his non-violent training... Read more
