Very interesting. Even though I am not a country music fan, I am a musician and found this informative and a relaxing book to listen to. Great insights!

Super easy to listen to - loved the way it was told was sad when it was over.

This guy is so full of himself that he is just boring and annoying. Willie doesn't even narrate it, someone else does! That was a disappointment since I do like his voice.

IT was like spending a few days with a reflective, raw and kindly Willie Nelson

While this book was more like an brief autobiography, it was in parts touching, provocative and a great look at a way to approach life. Nelson's life hasn't been easy and he's had some things to overcome and come back from. So his take on the Tao, Willie style is interesting if you like Willie Nelson. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star is because it isn't strictly a self-help book or guide. It is a funny, low key exploration of what makes life good.

I never finished it; it may have gotten better, but it was so corny I couldn't stand it any longer. Only heard Willie's actual voice briefly. I love Willie - but the book, not so much.
