This smart, funny book delivers a (somewhat) serious examination of the philosophical musings of its subject and his films with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

From Speed's "What would you do?" to Point Break's "If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price," Keanu Reeves's movies are consistently built around philosophical questions that challenge viewers at the same time they're being entertained.

What Would Keanu Do? examines everyday challenges faced by readers and helps solve those same problems by applying the philosophical lessons espoused by Reeves (or one of his films).

From John Wick and Toy Story 4 to Dangerous Liaisons, The Matrix and everything in between, this humorous yet helpful book provides all of the insight and guidance you'll ever need.

And remember: As noted in the immortal lyrics of Kansas - and dramatically delivered by one Ted "Theodore" Logan - "All we are is dust in the wind."
