Happiness. I bought some books in order to learn the first principles of spare time. If you haven’t read Leo Bormans’ book “The World Book of Happiness”, Mr. Bowie totally recommend that you do. Click here for more information.

Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
You live with Mr. Bowie……do you really need a book?
Well Marty, I need to fill the spare time when Mr. Bowie’s taking a nap…
Hahahaha, oh you mean the other 20hrs of the day?
Ha ha ha… well, true! 🙂
Mr. Bowie is considering which one you should read first……or maybe just whether to take a nap. Either one is good.
I prefer a nap on a Sunday afternoon… 😉
Enjoy the spare time Herman…..obviously Mr. Bowie spends HIS spare time keeping an eye on you when he’s not snoozing or posing!
Pam
Thank you, Pam. Guess Mr. Bowie’s waiting for his afternoon treat…
Aren’t we all? Mine will be cappuccino and something in the DARK CHOCOLATE department! 😉
A very wise decision…
great photo; love the balance of books to Mr. Bowie. Happy reading!
Thank you, Coop! Don’t know which book to read first…
Mom says thanks for telling her about this book. She definitely is going to look into buying it. She spent her youth being a pessimist, but as an adult has discovered that she can find a silver lining in absolutely everything.

You are welcome, my friends. I think me and your Mom have a lot in common… 😉
Sounds like a good book, Herman. Mr. Bowie looks like the proud librarian in residence! There is a good book of cat poems you and Mr. Bowie might like called “The Poetical Cat, an anthology”, a collections of cat poems edited by Felicity Bast. My favorite poem in there is “The King of Cats Sends a Postcard to his Wife”.
Thanks for your tip about the cat book, Lavinia! I’m going to check it out… Is it available in cat language…??
I’m not sure. I’ll consult Mr. Nano who has special channels for such things. 🙂
Ha ha ha… Please keep us informed, Lavinia!
Mr. Bowies should write his own book. 🙂
Yes he should, Deborah! Just wondering, should it be in English are in cat language…?? 😉
First apologize to Mr. Bowie for me, I added an s to his name. Well, I think it should be in English and Cat to reach a larger audience. The only trouble is there may be difficulty in the translation from Cat to English. Some words in Cat have special nuances that do not translate easily. But tell Mr. Bowie that we eagerly await his book. Maybe he could start with a short story or poem.
Mr. Bowie says “Meow!” I’m not an expert in Cat but I think it means “Let me think about it! We’ll see…”
Yes! I would buy a pawed copy 🙂
You would get one for free, Marc-André!
Awwwww thank you 😀
You’re welcome!
Daar zitten goei boeken bij!!!
Vooral die ene uitgave die gratis was! 😉
Give a big hug to Mr. B for me, enjoy the holidays guys. Hugs & Kisses♥
Thank you so much! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
Mr Bowie is happiness personified! Take care – you’re in my thoughts and prayers. Ellie
Thank you, Ellie. Much appreciated! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
Hey- that looks like a great book fur napping on!😺
Well Shrimp, true happiness is… to enjoy a nap on a good book!
Hehehe- yep. That does it fur me!!💜😸
Wherever I lay my book, that’s my bed… 😉
Mol! Me too!💜
🙂
Oh Herman, I am going to envy your spare time.
Spare time with Mr. Bowie and good books, what else can you wish for…??
Okay, espresso and dark chocolate, of course…
Don’t forget the afternoon naps. 😉
Obviously! 🙂
Not sure what the book is for – to find out how to fill your spare time or to find happiness… I have a solution, throw away the book and volunteer. It will fill your spare time and who could not feel happy to make someone’s (or some animal’s) life a little bit better?
True, Jill. I’ve already made plans to work as a volunteer in a non-profit cat shelter, starting early 2015.
That’s so great – I have done that too. The only problem was resisting the urge to take them all home!
That’s going to be a problem for me too… 😉
You look so handsome photographed beside books.Looking at you makes me happy Mr Bowie! ❤
Well, I’m glad you don’t need to read “The World Book of Happiness” book… 😉
Meow!
Very interesting, Herman…I will look for it. I read some kind of positive thinking book every morning…sounds like I should add this one to my list, especially if World Leaders are reading it. 🙂
…and don’t forget Mr. Bowie recommended it…!! 😉
Mr. Bowie is quite the philosophical cat isn’t he!
Only when he’s seduced with cat treats for a photo shoot…
I see! He is shall we say….spoiled! As he should be. 🙂
True! 🙂
😀
What a great project, thanks for the recommendation. What’s your definition of happiness? A warm cat and espresso? I’m pretty happy right now with my sleeping dog next to me and a cup of tea 🙂
A warm cat and espresso (did you forget to mention dark chocolate?)… I can live with that!
Btw, I’m drinking tea too, especially in the evening for relaxation, stress-relief and a good night sleep… I used to be addicted to sleeping pills.
Dark chocolate, of course! Tea is great at night. I often drink chamomile tea as it helps me sleep too. That a nice bath. Sounds like you have good routines too now. Sleep well 🙂
Thank you, Letizia! My evening tea is a mixture of camomile, sauge, mélisse, vétiver, verveine, valériane, lavande, houblon… Bonne nuit!
What a great mix! Un bon sommeil dans l’avenir avec ce the!
C’est vrai, ma cherie! 😉
Just back from popping over to the book link. Thank you for this impressive recommendation, I shall follow up with my local library. Can the answers be found in research or the writings of experts? I’m curious. I have found that ‘giving’ makes me happier than ‘receiving’, whether it’s as simple as some time with a friend or making a good meal for Mr. B, I just feel happier when I attempt to make someone else happy. Now, throw in some coffee and a treat and Boom! That’s a day worthy of a diary entry.
Dear Mr Bowie, there’s this book by a guy named Dr Seuss, about a cat in a hat. Might be interesting, maybe dad can read it to you a bedtime? xo
Dear Herman, And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.) ❤
Thank you for this heartwarming comment, my dear Boomdee! I like to give presents to my friends, family and Mr. Bowie too… 😉
And once in a while, I give myself a present! 🙂
We’ll check out the Dr. Seuss book…
Thank you for the recommendation Mr. Bowie! Hugs and Kisses!
My pleasure, Christine! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
Cats and books have always gone together Herman. I’m sure Mr. Bowie will tell you it’s because they both contain much wisdom and are relaxing and soothing to the soul. I followed the link and will definitely look into that book, thank you for the suggestion. Today it’s Thanksgiving day in the U.S. and among the things I am thankful for is your wonderful blog in which you share so many good things, most of all Mr. Bowie.
Thank you so much for this heartwarming comment, Angela. Much appreciated!
I apologize for the late reply… Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
“Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” =^,,^=
