About this listen

The Dalai Lama's cat is back - older, a bit wiser, and as curious as ever.

In this audiobook, the Dalai Lama sets for his lovable feline companion the task of investigating the art of purring. Whether it's the humorous insights gained from a visiting Ivy League psychology professor, the extraordinary research of a world-famous biologist, or the life-changing revelations of a mystical yogi, His Holiness's cat encounters a wealth of wisdom about happiness. And what she discovers changes the way she sees herself forever.

With a much loved - and growing - cast of characters from the local community and His Holiness's residence, as well as encounters with intriguing strangers and celebrities from far and wide, The Art of Purring will transport listeners in another unforgettable story. Along the way they will come to understand how elements of contemporary science and Buddhism converge. And, once again, they will feel the warmth of compassion and non-attachment that radiate from the heart of the Dalai Lama's teachings about our quest for enduring happiness.

Purr, Purr, Purr

Loved this book, although I did feel it was a little preachy in places. Totally in love with little Snow Lion's personality, and I enjoyed the back story of the humans as well .

Well worth my time

The Art Of Happiness

Story is a delight to listen to, with secrets to happiness thrown in for good measure. The story's characters are well drawn and the plot development draws you onto the next chapter as soon as possible. Like the first book in the series, will happily play again, not just for the nuggets of wisdom hidden within each chapter, but for the general sense of well-being the book emanates. The author David Michie narrates, and his voice carries all the subtleties of inflexion that bring an already great book springing to life.
