In these nine life-fulfilling lessons, learn how your cat can bring you peace, comfort and a unique happiness. A home without a cat is just a house, as they say. There is something special about our feline friends – the comfort they bring, their intuition, their famously comedic side – that contributes to a household's average happiness index.
In fact, just looking at your cat can ease anxiety and bring a sense of understanding and calm – but why is that? What are these curious qualities that cats possess? And what lessons can we learn from them? The Healing Power of Cats takes a deep dive into all nine lives, to uncover the mysterious happiness that owning a cat can bring. By combining unique scientific research from cat experts and personal stories from cat-owners, Ulrica Norberg and Carina Nunstedt teach us how to use all of the most admirable cat qualities in our daily lives to reduce stress and anxiety, set boundaries and see the world as one big ball of yarn
From the bestselling author of Mayflies and Caledonian Road, a heart-enriching celebration of what makes us great: our friends. If we are lucky in our lives, our friendships will be rich and varied. They will be shared with those with two legs, with four legs, with whiskers or clean faces; they will come dressed in the simplicity of childhood or the professional attire of adult life; some will span decades, and some will be only fleeting.
But the thing they will all have in common is that life is not only unimaginable - but unimagined - without them. In these gorgeous personal reflections, Andrew O'Hagan explores friendship through music and poetry, memory and history, illuminating the many ways and reasons that people come together, and how our lives are all the better because we do.v
Charlie Mackesy’s four unlikely friends are wandering through the wilds again. They’re not sure what they are looking for. They do know that life can be difficult, but that they love each other, and cake is often the answer.
