Live Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer is Much Faster): Life Lessons and Other Ravings from Dave Barry

During the course of living (mumble, mumble) years, Dave Barry has learned much of wisdom,* (*actual wisdom not guaranteed) and he is eager to pass it onâ€”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.

In brilliant, brand-new, never-before-published pieces, Dave passes on home truths to his new grandson and to his daughter Sophie, who will be getting her learnerâ€™s permit in 2015 (â€œSo youâ€™re about to start driving! How exciting! Iâ€™m going to kill myselfâ€). He explores the hometown of his youth, where the grown-ups were supposed to be uptight fifties conformists, but seemed to have a lot of un-Mad Men-like fun, unlike Daveâ€™s own Baby Boomer generation, which was supposed to be wild and crazy, but somehow turned into neurotic hover-parents. He dives into everything from the inanity of cable news and the benefits of Google Glass (â€œYou will look like a douchebagâ€) to the loneliness of high school nerds (â€œYou will never hear a high school girl say about a boy, in a dreamy voice, â€˜Heâ€™s so sarcastic!â€™â€), from the perils of home repair to firsthand accounts of the soccer craziness of Brazil and the just plain crazy craziness of Vladimir Putinâ€™s Russia (â€œHe stares at the camera with the expression of a man who relaxes by strangling small furry animalsâ€), and a lot more besides.
Â Â Â Â
By the end, if you do not feel wiser, richer in knowledge, more attuned to the universe . . . we wouldnâ€™t be at all surprised. But youâ€™ll have had a lot to laugh about!
