And in the process, she got out of debt, cut clutter, crushed her goals, and became healthier and happier than ever—all the things she’d always wanted to do but “never had time to” (because she was mindlessly scrolling, shopping, spending, and stressing). After a decade of fine-tuning, No New Things guides listeners through the same revolutionarily simple challenge that has helped thousands of global participants find freedom and fulfillment in just thirty days.

In Our Dogs, Ourselves, Alexandra Horowitz explores all aspects of this unique and complex relationship that “dog lovers will savor and absorb” (Shelf Awareness). As Horowitz considers the current culture of dogdom, she reveals the odd, surprising, and contradictory ways we live with dogs.

Qual é o sentido da vida? Buscamos respostas na filosofia e na religião para nossas angústias, mas será que os gatos não têm algo a nos ensinar? Ao buscar soluções para nossas grandes inquietações, a humanidade criou, entre outras coisas, a filosofia. Pensadores, de Spinoza a Berdiaev, têm se debruçado sobre questões humanas perenes, mas talvez tenhamos tanto a aprender com gatos quanto com os grandes filósofos. Filosofia felina aborda várias linhas filosóficas ao longo do tempo e coloca outra perspectiva em destaque: a dos gatos.
