If you like Willie Nelson, you'll like this book

Easy read, Simple words from a simple man, Willie Nelson. Lots of good advice for taking life easy. Makes a good gift.


Backstage with Willie

I deployed to Afghanistan in May 2006. The morning of my departure, I received a phone call from both of the authors of this book. Willie and Turk wished me luck and a safe return on my journey. It was a memory that has been with me ever since. Just this past week, I had the fortune of getting to see Willie Nelson in concert (The Last of Breed Tour) for the first time in my 33 years. It was an amazing show and I also had the pleasure of meeting him backstage as he proceeded to the stage to perform with Merle Haggard and Ray Price. What an experience!
While on deployment I was able to read this book. There is little happiness in Afghanistan these days. But every night prior to lights out, I could always count on a smile and a reflection of my life through the words in this book. It was a pleasure to read.
To Willie and Turk...Thank you!

You can never step in the same river twice...

Not being a country and western fan, I really don't remember when I discovered Willie...Saw him at the Austin Opry House back in the 70's and and been to several more concerts...He always comes across as an authenic being, who does not pretend to be more than he is...When I stumbled across this book, I immedicately knew I had to read it...The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu perfectly compliments the "way" of Willie's life and he expresses it simply and humorously in this gem of a book. I had to stop reading frequently to either comtemplate the truth of what he's written or, just as frequently, to laugh at his jokes...This book will warm your heart and soul...We're all the better for having Willie in our lives...

This book changed my outlook on life

This book is wonderful. It's entertaining, but so much more than that. Willie's wisdom is priceless. I learned some valuable things from reading this book, such as taking the time to appreciate the present moment and accepting things the way they are.
I originally borrowed this book from the library, but I had to buy it because it's the kind of book that you want to read again and again.


Great book!

I've enjoyed reading The Tao of Willie very much. It's full of wisdom and humor and gives you the feeling that you know Willie personal.

Born in small-town Texas during the Great Depression, Willie Nelson was raised to believe in helping his neighbors and living without pretense. After many hardscrabble years as a poorly paid songwriter (often watching his work become a gold mine for other performers), Willie finally found his own voice?the gentle but unmistakably honest sound that has made him an American icon. Now the master of harmonization has created a guide to finding harmony in everyday life. Featuring vignettes from each chapter of his seventy-plus years (along with plenty of his favorite jokes), The Tao of Willie captures his views on money, love, war, religion, cowboys, and other essential Willie topics.

Loosely based on the principles of the Chinese philosophy of the Tao Te Cheng, which Willie has admired and followed for much of his adult life, this inspiring and entertaining collection of ?Willie wisdom? takes us from his roadhouse days, when he united redneck rockers with straitlaced country music fans, to the mega-sized benefit concerts and environmentalism that define his boundless heart. In the spirit of his fellow Texan Harvey Penick?s Little Red Book, Willie?s timeless insights sparkle with clarity: It?s like having a one-on-one conversation with the sage himself.
