HOW TO THINK LIKE A CAT

George Newbern's persuasive performance highlights how cats can teach us how to live better lives, ideas based on the author's observations of his cat, Ziggy. Newbern clearly articulates the compelling argument to be inspired by cats--to adopt their view of life to learn how to let go and focus on our well-being and the essential things in life. Newbern is calmly convincing with his flowing narration as the author contrasts people and cats and defines self-confidence and true charisma. Newbern's tone takes on numerous notes as he playfully portrays how cats wake up with stretches and pendiculations (yawns) and soothingly considers cats as Buddhist teachers in their practice of sitting and observing. This is a graceful invitation to bring peace and elegance into our lives by thinking like a cat. M.F. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2018]
