THE WORLD ACCORDING TO TOM HANKS - GAVIN EDWARD...

An entertaining and insightful homage to Tom Hanks  America's favorite movie star  from the New
York Times bestselling author of the cult sensation The Tao of Bill Murray. Niceness gets a bad
rap these days. Our culture rewards those who troll the hardest and who snark the most. At
times it seems like there's no place anymore for optimism  integrity  and good old-fashioned
respect. Enter America's Dad: Tom Hanks. Whether he's buying espresso machines for the White
House Press Corps  rewarding a jovial cab driver with a night out on Broadway  or extolling the
virtues of using a typewriter  Hanks lives a passionate  joyful life and pays it forward to
others. Gavin Edwards  the New York Times bestselling author of The Tao of Bill Murray  takes
readers on a tour behind the scenes of Hanks's life: from his less-than-idyllic childhood 
rocky first marriage  and career wipeouts to the pinnacle of his acting career and domestic
bliss with the love of his life  Rita Wilson. As he did for Bill Murray  Edwards distills
Hanks's life story into ten commandments that beautifully encapsulate his All-American
philosophy. Contemplating the life  the achievements  and the obsessions of Mr. Tom Hanks may
or may not give you the road map you need to find your way. But at the very least  it'll show
you how niceness can be a worthy destination.
