Born in small-town Texas during the Great Depression, Willie Nelson was raised to believe in helping his neighbours and living without pretence. Now the master of harmonisation has created a guide to finding harmony in everyday life. Featuring vignettes from each chapter of his 70-plus years (along with plenty of his favourite jokes) The Tao of Willie captures his views on money, love, war, religion and other topics. Based loosely on the principles of the Chinese philosophy, this inspiring book offers timeless insights and sparkles with clarity.
Willie: A Funny, Wise, "Angel Flying Too Close To the Ground"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Well, okay, maybe nobody would characterize Willie Nelson as an angel. In his youth, he was a rebellious, roughneck, "dirt-eating kid". As he grew up, he became pretty familiar with the currents on the Whiskey River. He's lived an eventful, not-always-easy life. Still, he found success, and as he says: "some would call it happiness, but I like to think what I found is me." In this little gem of a book, the wisdom of age shines through, as does a warm sense of humor and a great outlook on life. Willie has mellowed, it seems, and when you read The Tao of Willie, you may feel more mellow yourself, and ready to accept the happiness in your heart.
