What can our dogs teach us about living a more meaningful and joyful life? 🐶🌿 In this special episode of Kerouac’s Cruising, we sit down with philosopher and best-selling author Mark Rowlands to discuss his latest book, The Word of Dog.

Mark has spent decades exploring the wisdom of dogs, reflecting on what they can teach us about presence, purpose, and the pitfalls of overthinking. We dive deep into philosophy, mindfulness, travel with dogs, and what it truly means to live in the moment.

📖 Topics we explore in this episode:

🔹 The philosophy of dogs—what they can teach us about joy and presence

🔹 Why we overthink—and how to stop

🔹 Living a meaningful life vs. the "Tantalus trap" of endless striving

🔹 Mark’s personal experiences traveling with dogs across the Atlantic ✈️

🔹 How The Word of Dog can shift your perspective on work, happiness, and purpose

✨ If you’ve ever looked at your dog and wished you could capture their simple joy, this conversation is for you.
