Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

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.
