책 소개

Be Soft. Be cool. Be mysterious. Know all the sunny places. These illustrated teachings of one very wise cat were embraced by millions when first published. Now Binky is back, adding 45 new life lessons, including: Don't think too far beyond your next meal, People watching is a legitimate pasttime, and Be able to nap anywhere.
Here are the illustrated teachings of one wise cat in a book that may, very possibly, change your life.
Suzy Becker is an artist, entrepreneur, and author of I Had Brain Surgery, What's Your Excuse?, My Dog's the World's Best Dog, and Manny's Cows. Binky, her muse, was a Holstein cat.
In the years since we first published "All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat (And Then Some," with over 2 million copies in print and the fastest-selling book in Workman's history, one thing hasn't changed--people are still starved for wisdom. Few oracles have dispensed as much common-sense truth as Binky, Suzy Becker's cat. "It's O.K. to wear the same thing every day." "Know all the sunny places." "Flaunt your hair loss." "Get mad when you're stepped on." Life lessons such as these and dozens of others propelled the book like a champagne cork to the top of "The New York Times" bestseller list. Now, to celebrate the book's double-platinum milestone, there's a new edition: the original book, in a fresh cover, plus 48 new pages, including the Are You a Cat Person? quiz. The cat, Binky, is perspicacious and profound; the artist, Suzy, is utterly delightful; and the combined effect is one of immense and irresistible charm. Every cat fancier will recognize the book's timeless take on grooming, health, relationships, boundaries, and, above all, how to live in the moment. With new entries like "Be good at hellos. Don't drag out goodbyes," "Don't think too far beyond your next meal," "Celebrate the days you can open the windows," and "First one in has to warm up the bed," these teachings may very possibly change your life. Or at least let you know that there's always time for a nap.
