英文原文：

In his debut novel, The Incarnation of Catman Billy, author Will Jordan writes about the adventures of a man reborn as a cat. Billy finds he now must look at life from a different perspective, and in so doing, he discovers some important truths. Jordan hopes his book inspires readers to re-examine their own lives and pursue goals that bring them meaning and fulfillment. "Billy is a human coming back as a cat to learn to be a better person," he explains.

(Having a vision of what you want is important)
To embark on a life transforming journey, Jordan says you need to keep a vision of the life you want to live in front of you.

(Keep a positive outlook)
Jordan adds that looking at positives rather than focusing only on negatives will also enhance relationships. If you want to be in a relationship with your husband or wife, you look at where you grow together, 'How can I help you?' not 'Where you are wrong and what's bad?' It falls apart if you do that.

As we begin a new year and a new decade, Jordan says this is the right moment for us to re-examine our lives. And like Catman Billy, he says we all can get out of our personal isolation, connect with others and create a better life.

中文译文：

在威尔·乔丹的处女作《猫人比利》中，他描写了一个人重生为猫的奇遇。比利发现他现在必须从不同的角度去看待生活，这样，他发现了一些重要的真相。乔丹希望他的书能鼓励读者去重新审视生活，并追寻那些有意义，并且能够带给他们成就感的目标。“比利是一个重生为猫的人，并用这样的方式来学习去做一个更好的人。” 他解释道。

（想象你想要的很重要）
开始一次改变生活的旅程，乔丹说你需要保持对未来你想要的生活的想象。

（保持乐观的看法）
乔丹补充道，着眼于乐观事物而不是关注消极事物也能加强关系。如果你想和你的丈夫或妻子保持亲密关系，你去看看你们一起成长的地方，要说“我要怎么帮你？” 而不是“你错在哪里或有什么糟糕的事？” 如果你那样做会使事情变得更糟。

当我们开始新的一年或一个新的阶段，乔丹说这是我们重新审视生活的恰当时期。像猫人比利一样，他说我们都可以走出个人孤立状态，与他人建立良好的关系并创造一种更美好的生活。
