Act like a cat

The cat is your best coach! Free, calm, curious, observing, durable, elegant, charismatic, proud, independent. The cat understood everything, let's do like her! This commonplace inspired Stéphane Garnier to write a personal development handbook that is different from similar books. The cat is free, calm, observing, careful, elegant, charismatic, separate, proud, independent... She has so many enviable qualities, that you can easily develop, if you take inspiration from it in your daily life. Let Stéphane Garnier and his companion, Ziggy the cat, guide you step by step on how to improve your life by observing your cat. Be curious, be zen and be demanding. It's up to you how you act, think, expect! You will no longer be subject to orders or the pressures of everyday life! In the office, in the family or among friends, a cat will help you to better manage stress, to rub your independence, to increase your charisma... Stéphane Garnier and Ziggy offer us an astonishing handbook packed with ingenuity, cat phrases and cunning advice... that will change your life! Stéphane Garnier (* 1974) is a man of many professions and the list of them is poetic in itself: sound engineer, lyricist, Columnist, carpenter, web designer, copywriter, a parcel sorter, owner and manager of the guesthouse, the lily of the valley salesman, real estate agent, coffee maker and ashtray emptier, a beginner pool-keeper, poet, a portraitist... He also threw himself furiously and voraciously into writing: published one novel and a number of humorous books. His fascination with cats gave birth to books such as Behave Like a Cat and Behave Like a Cat 2 (and more). He describes himself as a "powerful observer of the human species". He lives in Lyon. Josef Kostka was born on 21 June 2001 in Cancer in České Budějovice. After graduating from the general grammar school, he headed to Brno to the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts, where he studied drama. Since September 2025 he has been a member of the HaDivadlo drama ensemble in Brno. Copyright: The recording is based on Stéphane Garnier's book Behave Like a Cat, published by IOTA in 2018.
