ANIMAL INSIGHTS features a system in which you focus on two different animals each week for a year to gain insights from these animals for more success and satisfaction in your life.

You cut up and mix up the Animal Cards, which are printed four to a page, and remove the cards for the animals you feel the least affinity for, so you end up with 104 cards. Then, mix up the cards and draw two each week.

Once you select your two Animal Cards for the week, think about them in various ways.

The animals selected come from a list of well-known animals — from crustaceans, insects, and fish to reptiles, birds, and mammals. You can draw on these qualities for success in your life, and some of these qualities may suggest changes you can make for more success.
