Live like a cat: self-determined and free. Who wouldn't want that? Cats are mysterious, gentle, wild, indulgent, and unpredictable. How much can we learn from them about our own happiness? Cats instinctively follow the principles of happiness research: they immerse themselves in the moment, take pleasure in the simplest things in life, treat themselves with care, and know how to relax. Cats naturally demand what they want, enjoy their lives, and simply are themselves: independent, self-confident, and free. By adopting cat-like behaviors, we can significantly boost our own happiness.
