David Michie is the author of a The Dalai Lama's Cat series of novels, as well as non-fiction titles including Buddhism for Pet Lovers, Why Mindfulness is Better than Chocolate, Hurry Up and Meditate and Buddhism for Busy People. His books are available in 26 languages in over 40 countries.

In 2015 David founded Mindful Safaris, leading groups to Africa-where he was born and brought up-for journeys which combine game viewing with guided meditations. As the many returning members of the Mindful Safari family testify, these extraordinary experiences help us reconnect with nature, as well as with ourselves, in a relaxed yet powerful way.
