Perfect for the Bill Murray fan in all of us, this epic collection of "Bill Murray stories"--many reported for the first time here--distills a set of guiding principles out of his extraordinary ability to infuse the everyday with surprise, absurdity, and wonder. No one will ever believe you. New York Times bestselling author Gavin Edwards, like the rest of us, has always been fascinated with Bill Murray--in particular the beloved actor's adventures off-screen, which rival his filmography for sheer entertainment value. Edwards traveled to the places where Murray has lived, worked, and partied, in search of the most outrageous and hilarious Bill Murray stories from the past four decades, many of which have never before been reported. Bill once paid a child five dollars to ride his bike into a swimming pool. The star convinced Harvard's JV women's basketball team to play with him in a private game of hoops. Many of these surreal encounters ended with Bill whispering, "No one will ever believe you" into a stranger's ear. But The Tao of Bill Murray is more than just a collection of wacky anecdotes. A sideways mix of comedy and philosophy, full of photo bombs, late-night party crashes, and movie-set antics, this is the perfect book for anyone who calls themselves a Bill Murray fan--which is to say, everyone. Praise for The Tao of Bill Murray "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 " Gavin Edwards] captures Murray's enigmatic, comic genius."--The Washington Post"Rib-tickling."--Newsday
"If you are among the multitudes who have a Bill Murray story (viz: 'I was in the airport bar, and who sat down next to me but Bill Murray?'), The Tao of Bill Murray will speak to you."--Elle "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 "This book is bursting with anecdotes that underline Murray's unconventional and fun-loving life. . . . Murray's fans are sure to savor it] and walk away with a deeper appreciation of the actor and his work."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "I just can't fathom how anyone could not like the man. He lives as much as possible by his own rules; this is a guy who doesn't buy round-trip airline tickets because he prefers to make decisions on the fly. That old question of the three people you'd most like to have dinner with? I'd pick Bill Murray and leave the other two chairs empty just to see who he pulls over to join us. . . . You will love The Tao of Bill Murray. Period."--GeekDad "A hilarious read--occasionally heartwarming, sometimes head-scratching. . . . Sure to please Murray fans."--Library Journal

TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Format: Paperback
Upon reviewing Jack Canfield's 'The Success Principles'; I found it a worthy read.
To delve into stereotypes, it will mostly be read by young men. This means that the fundamental
weakness of young men needs to be talked about - which is sex.
Napoleon Hill devoted a whole chapter to 'Sex Magnetism' in his magnum opus
'Think And Grow Rich.' You should definitely read that book. Staying away from
sex for two or three months will definitely build force, and give you a
competitive edge.
Mr. Canfield's book is remarkable in it's breadth. You need first of all to be responsible
for the results you are getting in your life,surround yourself with good people,
chunk down your goals, take action, and learn from the feedback you are
getting.
The weakness in this book is all those people who have good intentions, who want to learn;
but who sabotage themselves; or at least at a subconscious level think they are unworthy
of reaching their goals.
For them I would suggest karma yoga and either Sufi practice or Christian mysticism.
The karma yoga will take you to a higher plane than your problems, whereas the
Christian mystical training or Sufi training will heal your heart, and stop you from
failing again and again.
You have a handbook in your hands which will solve many of your problems.
If you take action, see how life responds, and work and adapt.
Five stars!

Really enjoy the book and understanding
Format: Paperback
I can't speak for other people and their experience on the book. But installing MySQL wasn't a problem for me following the book instructions and the instructions from the actual Oracle site. Afterwards I relished each of the sessions of segments to learn. Creating tables and then pulling up specifics from that table to access. Or just running the whole table. I took notes for each of the sections as well. I do recommend saving not deleting the tables you do in the sections. So that way one can go back to those table and play around with it. I also recommend tweaking the data to your liking and change it up to be creatively fun. Learning is fun if U can squeeze it in to make it.

Not Good at ALL !!
Format: Paperback
This book on SQL is disappointing!
It is awful even at the beginning.
First of all, you must install MySQL to practice SQL!
The author barely skims over this important step!
Without properly installing My SQL, you cannot do the rest of the stuff in this book.
I am sorry, I tried and failed in following this book.
