Description
During the course of living (mumble, mumble) years, American humourist Dave Barry has learned much of wisdom,* (*actual wisdom not guaranteed) and he is eager to pass it on to the next generation, the generation after that and to those idiots who make driving to the grocery store in Florida a death-defying experience. By the end of this book, if you do not feel wiser, richer in knowledge, more attuned to the universe...We wouldn't be at all surprised. But you'll have had a lot to laugh about!
Reviews
Praise for Live Right and Find Happiness
Worth every penny when it comes to humor and insight. Its wonderful to see that he hasnt stopped writing about our foibles and his somewhat unique perspective on what makes us tick. And hes able to do it while invoking out-loud laughter. Associated Press
These latest essays will cause outright, prolonged laughter. Kirkus Reviews
If you were on that clichd desert island and could follow only one sages advice, it would have to be Dave Barrys. Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Author Bio
From 1983 to 2004, Dave Barry wrote a weekly humor column for The Miami Herald, which in 1988 won a Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. He is the author of more than thirty books, including such bestsellers as the nonfiction Live Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer Is Much Faster), You Can Date Boys When You're Forty, and I'll Mature When I'm Dead; the novels Big Trouble, Tricky Business, and Insane City; the very successful YA Peter Pan novels (with Ridley Pearson); and his Christmas story The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog. Two of his books-Big Trouble and Dave Barry's Guide to Guys-have been turned into movies. For a while, his life was even a television series, Dave's World, but then it was canceled. The series. Not the life. For many years, Dave was also a guitarist with the late, infamous, and strangely unlamented band the Rock Bottom Remainders.
