Sy Montgomery appears on People I (Mostly) Admire as an author and naturalist whose work intimately connects her with the animal kingdom, deeply influencing her own life and the perspectives of her readers. Discussing her writing career, Montgomery reflects on her commitment to producing multiple books simultaneously, noting that she worked on 'Quest for the Tree Kangaroo' alongside her memoir 'The Good Pig', which she wrote to honor Christopher Hogwood. She mentions the research and collaboration behind her book about Dr. Lisa Dabek and her studies of tree kangaroos. Furthermore, Montgomery discusses the profound personal and public impact of her work, particularly 'The Soul of an Octopus'. She shares how many readers reached out after reading the book to explain that it fundamentally altered their relationship with food, specifically leading them to stop eating octopus. Through her reflections, Montgomery emerges as a passionate advocate for wildlife whose memoirs and nature writing bridge the gap between scientific observation and emotional empathy, ultimately changing human behavior toward animals.
