Synopsis:

Let the four-legged masters of Zen—cats—help you cultivate happiness in this meditative guide that uses feline behavior as a model for inner peace and includes an interactive cover which produces the sound of five different soothing purrs.

With their let-it-go attitude, de-stressing capabilities, and healing purrs, cats radiate inner peace. In the field of personal development, the feline has become a model for positive thinking and a Zen attitude, their purrs the feline equivalent of saying "om."

Purrhaps the most comforting book you’ll ever need, Gilles Dierderichs’ unique guide brings together the twelve teachings of the Master Cat, cat-therapy workshops, concentration, observation, and relaxation exercises—daily meditations, a quiz to discover the cat inside of you, and the fifteen purrs of happiness and success that will help you to:

  • Take action
  • Enjoy pleasure
  • Approach adversity
  • Approach and seduce
  • Be compassionate
  • Gauge strength
  • Test every potential
  • Unveil mystery
  • Accept the mystical
  • Heal
  • Wake up
  • Dream
  • Prepare
  • Learn
  • Listen
  • And more . . .

Filled with inspiring advice that can teach you how to slow down and focus, Purr is a joyful companion for every cat lover and anyone who wants to learn how to cultivate inner peace.
