The Happiness of Dogs
Book •
In 'The Happiness of Dogs', Mark Rowlands explores the idea that dogs have found a way to live a more fulfilling life by not overthinking their actions.
The book delves into the concept of reflection and how it can lead to troubled beliefs and anxieties in humans.
Rowlands draws on his experiences with his own dog, Shadow, to illustrate how dogs live in the moment and find meaning in simple activities.
He contrasts this with the human tendency to constantly analyze and question our motives, which can detract from our overall happiness.
The book suggests that humans can learn valuable lessons from dogs about how to live a more joyful and meaningful life.
