The Abide Guide - by Oliver Benjamin & Dwayne Eutsey (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Ethan and Joel Coen's cinematic triumph The Big Lebowski with this ultimate guide to life from the founders of the Church of Latter-Day Dude.

When you seek salvation from this stressed-out, uptight world, there's only one man to go to for guidance--the Dude. With a new introduction and updated content from the Dudeism priests and founders at the Church of Latter-Day Dude, this is the perfect gift for movie lovers and mindfulness seekers. At once helpful, funny and profound (like The Big Lebowski itself), this survival guide shows how to be as Dude-like as the Dude (well, almost):

• Secrets of sacred Dudeist practices
• The Seven Spiritual Laws of Taking It Easy
• Great Dudes who changed the world (without really trying)
• New feminist philosophy for special ladies
• The Way of the Dude applied to politics, ethics and finances
• A 12-step program for personal Dudevolution
• The science of really tying your room together

All this and a lot more what-have-you. So the next time life throws you a gutterball, just pick up this book and ask, "What would the dude do?" It's your answer for everything.

About the Author

Oliver Benjamin is the founder of The Church of the Latter-Day Dude, better known as Dudeism--a religion with over 700,000 ordained "Dudeist priests" worldwide. His books include The Tao of the Dude, The Dude De Ching, Lebowski 101 and The Abide Guide. His non-Dudeism books include The Tao of the Jedi, and an original translation and analysis of The Tao Te Ching. He is also a musician, graphic artist and a former journalist.

You can find more about him at dudeism.com and oliverbenjamin.net.

In addition to serving as Dudeism's Arch Dudeship, Dwayne Eutsey is a writer/editor who has more years of experience practicing his craft than he'd care to admit. Across the sands of time, his editorial career in publishing has helped Dwayne feed the monkey (more or less) and has allowed him to work on a book about Great Dude from History Mark Twain's unconventional religious views.
