Reviews
Advance praise for The Tao of Bill Murray "Reading The Tao of Bill Murray is like spending time with Bill, but probably safer." --Danny Rubin, screenwriter of Groundhog Day "When confronted by life's challenges and opportunities, we should all be asking ourselves, 'What would Bill Murray do?' This book actually has the answers." --Jay Duplass, writer, director, actor, fan of Bill Murray "As much as I love Gavin Edwards's wonderful The Tao of Bill Murray, I can't help but feel sad that Bill Murray has never covered my eyes on a street corner." --Moby "Bill Murray seems to have shambled, stumbled, joked, surprised, party-crashed and acted his way to the Tao. However he got there, we're all better off for him having demonstrated his unique way." --Gary Dudney, author of The Tao of Running "Capturing the spirit of a man who actively defies logic is like chasing a mustang through the desert in your skivvies. Luckily Edwards had some help: In this rowdy little book, he collects potent tales from people who experienced something strange and intangible: the zany antics of a trickster whose improvisation skills on stage and screen are nothing compared to his sometimes gallant, sometimes ridiculous, always dauntless improvisations with life." --Linda Kohanov, author of The Tao of Equus "Mercurial, paradoxical, spontaneous, contrarian, whimsical, benevolent, lighthearted yet deadly earnest: these terms aptly describe both the precepts of the Tao Te Ching and the man known as Bill Murray. Moreover, Murray embodies all of these qualities without even knowing it, easily qualifying him for Taoist of the Month. This collection of bizarre, heartwarming, and hilarious stories will give his fans greater appreciation of his unorthodox approach to life." --Ali Binazir, M.D., M.Phil., author of The Tao of Dating "This book defies description, like Bill Murray himself. That's oddly appropriate, since the Tao is beyond words. Murray has certainly blazed a unique and unusual path through his life. May this book inspire you to do the same through yours!" --Derek Lin, author of The Tao of Daily Life "The practice of a Taoist is to make his Way on earth groove in balance and harmony with the Great Way of Heaven. The Way of Bill Murray is to find heavenly humor in the most mundane affairs of life on earth." --Daniel Reid, author of The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity "#intoxicating #strangerthanfiction #murrayforpresident" --Mark W. Schaefer, author of The Tao of Twitter "The principles of Tao make sense in relation to recovery--who thought it was a good idea to discuss some comedian in those terms?" --Jim McGregor, author of The Tao of Recovery, Advance praise for The Tao of Bill Murray "Reading The Tao of Bill Murray is like spending time with Bill, but probably safer." --Danny Rubin, screenwriter of Groundhog Day "When confronted by life's challenges and opportunities, we should all be asking ourselves, 'What would Bill Murray do?'

Edwards skillfully weaves together many well-known and entirely new anecdotes from throughout Murray's career that capture him at the height of his power. Murray is an endless delight, and his knack for bons mots and non sequiturs will keep readers laughing before revealing an unexpectedly poignant vision for happiness. . . . A fun and revealing look behind the charm and mythos of Bill Murray that will only strengthen his legend." -- Kirkus Reviews "Bill Murray seems to have shambled, stumbled, joked, surprised, party-crashed and acted his way to the Tao.
