The Tao of Willie: A Guide to Happiness in Your Heart - Willie Nelson with Turk Pipkim
"Life is not about how fast you run or how high you climb, but how well you bounce" (41). This remarkable resiliency and staying power is certainly true of the legend, Willie Nelson. (By the way, it is also true of Tigger!) This book is loaded with a wide variety of Willie-isms. Some are profound. Some are silly. All are fun! There is just something so enjoyable about saying "The Tao of Willie"! Go ahead... say it out loud a few times. Isn't it catchy? Another Willie-ism: "It's easy to be false with other people, but to be false to yourself is a waste of your life on earth" (100). Willie is anything but false. His complete honesty is refreshing. He even comes clean about his continued love for marijuana. Though some of Willie's reflections are more confusing than helpful, his endearing personality carries the day.
