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 \u003ci\u003eThe Tao of Bill Murray\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Tao of Bill Murray\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"When confronted by life's challenges and opportunities, we should all be asking ourselves, 'What would Bill Murray do?'
