Though THE ABIDE GUIDE is classified as a self-help book, it could easily fall under religion, comedy, history, or philosophy. Within the first several pages it is apparent that much research and knowledge of older religion was required for the translation to Dudeism, though this book hit the nail on the head as far as an updated belief system for it's place and time. I found many lessons in the pages of The Abide Guide that pertain to my life everyday, however I believe the most important piece of advice on the path to just takin it easy is contained in the chapter "DUDERS UNANIMOUS: A 12-Step Program to Dudevolution." I believe #8, "Be Dude to everyone you meet," has been the main step that has helped to improve my daily interactions the most even before I knew of Dudeism. I also believe that #8 is the quickest path to a sense of Abiding. It should be #1. But that's just, like, my opinion man. The Abide Guide is a great read even for those that know nothing of The Big Lebowski or Dudeism as the authors take a scene by scene translation that stands on its own without prior knowledge of either. This book is more than just an interesting read but a wise investment. ABIDE.

What an amazing read! Even if your not a dudeist, it is simply an amazing book. It may be just like, my opinion man, but it is awesome!

Anyone that loves the big lebowski will love took! However the best part of this book are the outstanding,creative and true to life illustrations!!

Buy it for a good laugh since there are so many puns and witty comments within the covers of the guide to being a Dude

Friends, Dudesists, internets, lend me your beers.
Odds are that if you have gotten to this page, not only have you seen the Big Lebowski, but you've probably also heard of the Church of the Latter-Day Dude (Dudeism.) If not, I urge you to check both out and acquire this book. THE ABIDE GUIDE serves partially as a cliff notes for The Big Lebowski, giving information about the philosophical undertones of the renowned Coen Brothers flick, and as a self-improvement volume. But it's more than that--THE ABIDE GUIDE casts its lens on politics, economics, philosophy, and history; telling us how Dudeness molded modern thinking. I dig the work, fabulous stuff, man.

I haven't read the book yet but I imagine it's good. The book was in great quality for being used. I am very happy to add it to my collection.

This book is a really good read. If you want to figure out how to make it through life while making it the most far out journey you can this is the guide to follow.

Wow. The authors sure put a lot of thought into this book or religion. Probably a whole lot more thought than the Dude himself would. I would say and maybe the Dude would say: This is a very complicated book, man. Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta strains to keep straight in my head, man!
