SYNOPSIS

An exploration of the shamanic practice of shape shifting and the story of how learning these techniques helped the author transform from corporate executive to environmental activist.

Many indigenous cultures have known the art of shapeshifting: the actual transformation of a human being into another living creature. Lakota Sioux warriors would shapeshift into buffalo to become better hunters and to honor the animal, and Andean shamans transform into plants from the jungle to learn healing power.

In this book, author John Perkins examines these ancient shamanic practices and reveals the mental techniques that enable an individual to merge with another living creature. Shapeshifting is also the story of the author's transformation from a corporate utility executive to an environmental activist. Examining the shamanic techniques of "becoming the other" from different cultures, the author shows how it is within the capability of anyone to transform themselves on this deep level and achieve a true unity with all things.
