"How to Think Like a Cat" - a book, that helps us on the path to a more balanced and happier life.

What can we learn from cats? They always enjoy the moment, don't worry about anything. Even the most sloppy street cats are always dignified. They have no pretense. Cats have a philosophy of life, that seems to fit into just a few words - eating, sleeping, playing, taking care of their comfort and cleanliness, and doing only what they love.
When a cat enters, she does not need to scream and frisk to get attention, everyone's eyes automatically turn to her, because she is charismatic and creates so many positive vibrations and admiration. Charisma in humans gradually develops, when we are honest with ourselves and others, when we accept ourselves as we are, without a behavior, that does not correspond to our deepest nature. An attractive personality has many qualities. Anyone can develop them, on a condition, that we will always remain ourselves, just like a cat. We need to be sincere, tactful, simple and genuine.
The book takes the cat's agenda and draws our attention to how the cat wakes up, for example, calmly, wringing and stretching several times, not jumping up and running to the coffee machine right away. The phenomenon of most animals - setting up their body - is an ingrained habit. On the other hand, we often forget, that this is a good way to wake up and have a nice day.
The book talks about stress and again compares people to cats. They know, how to establish themselves and when the situation at home becomes intolerable, they will do something about it, such as walking away from home. The cats accept themselves as they are, they love their selves. Cats do not seem to have any complexes, doubts, or internal conflicts, and they show no sign of wanting to be dogs. We are all born different and most of us are dissatisfied with our condition, body and social position. But cats still have the wisdom not to burden themselves with these thoughts, because that is the best way to be unhappy.
Everyone, who has been in contact with cats, knows that cats are extremely patient with the limited mind of the human nature. Cats know very well, who loves them and who doesn't, but they don't bother doing anything about it. They have an independent, hermit nature, and they attach themselves to someone selectively, by their own internal recognition.
Cats are attentive and curious, and they try to find moments and places every day, that are exciting and enjoyable.
One of the main characteristics of a cat is independence. A cat is not subject to any hierarchy, does not need to live in a group or tribe, and does not need the approval of anyone. But our lives are governed by obligations, the approval of others, dependencies. That is why we should work to regain even partial independence in all areas so, that we could feel more free.
When we are in a bad mood and caressing a cat, it relaxes our mood and it gets better, because the cat radiates peace and warmth. It works the same way between people. Peaceful and joyful people are attractive and radiate peace and joy to others.
We could also learn about confidence from a cat. Humans often lack it, but cats are always confident.
Cats can let themselves be served without feeling guilty. At home, there is often a parent, who feels like a servant and is constantly exhausted. Against this, the book recommends to stop serving others constantly and distribute tasks among family members. The same is true at work, where the boss does not trust his employees and therefore does the work for his employees all the time.

The book is pleasantly humorous and not very voluminous. I listened to it myself in audio because I was running at the same time.
