State Buildings and Boffins Books are delighted to present Wine & Words with David Michie as he celebrates the release of his new book Buddhism for Pet Lovers.
The bonds we share with our pets go beyond words and are often deeper than many of our human relationships. What is the nature of these close connections? And what if our influence on pets, both in life and especially through sickness and death, is far more powerful than we ever conceived?
Can't make it? We'll happily have a copy of David Michie's Buddhism for Pet Lovers signed for you. Simply contact us via phone, email, online or visit us in-store, and we'll take care of the rest.
David Michie draws on ancient Buddhist wisdom, supported by contemporary science, to provide fascinating insights into animal consciousness. He proposes that the pets with whom we share our lives are not there by accident. Whether your animal companion has fur, feathers or fins, he offers a treasury of practical tools to enhance your relationship with them in everyday life, as well as during times of challenge. Written with humour and compassion, and including extraordinary true stories from around the world, Buddhism for Pet Lovers reveals how our animal companions may indeed be among our most precious partners. For in helping them, our own lives are incomparably enriched too.
