Beloved Dog author Maira Kalman on all the ways our dogs walk us
The great illustrator Maira Kalman on what dogs can teach us about love, and the importance of keeping your eyes and heart open.
Maira Kalman used to think dogs were terrifying creatures, but she now sees them as "the truest representation of unconditional love".
Kalman joins Shad to explain how dogs wordlessly answer some of life's biggest questions, how important it is to become comfortable with change, and why we humans need to take ourselves on more walks.
"The point of walking, the purpose of walking, is to not think — just to look and absorb and feel what's around you," she says, adding that a good walk might lead you effortlessly toward new solutions.
"Not thinking is a big deal in my life."
