The Tao of Willie

A Guide to the Happiness in Your Heart

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Born in small-town Texas during the Depression, Willie Nelson was raised to believe in helping his neighbours and living without pretence. After many hard poorly-paid years as a songwriter Willie finally found his own voice - the gentle and honest sound which has made him an American icon. This is his guide to finding harmony in everyday life, featuring vignettes from each chapter of his long life along with his views on money, love, war, religion and cowboys. Willie's timeless insights sparkle with clarity; it's like having a one-on-one with the sage himself.

Rezensionen

"[T]he book is a wily tour through Nelson's obsessions. . . ." (The New Times Book Review)

"Seriously fun guide offers readers the full Nelson. . . . [a] whimsical yet serious guide to happiness. . . . The Willie philosophy is simple, a blending of 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you' and 'don't sweat the small stuff.'" (Boston, Sunday Herald)
