Live Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer Is Much Faster) - by Dave Barry (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Now in paperback from the Pulitzer Prize winner, the hilarious New York Times-bestselling exploration of what generations can teach one another--or not.

During the course of his life, Dave Barry has learned much of wisdom, and he is eager to pass it on. Among other brilliant, brand-new pieces, Dave shares home truths with his new grandson and his daughter Sophie; explores the hometown of his youth, where all the parents seemed to be having un-Mad Men-like fun; and dives into firsthand accounts of the soccer craziness of Brazil and the just plain crazy craziness of Vladimir Putin's Russia.

"These latest essays will cause outright, prolonged laughter." --Kirkus Reviews

"If you were on that clichéd desert island and could follow only one sage's advice, it would have to be Dave Barry's." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times
