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 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.
Dave Barry is proud to have been elected Class Clown by the Pleasantville High School class of 1965. From 1983 to 2004, he wrote a weekly humor column for the Miami Herald, which in 1988 won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. He is the author of some thirty books, including his bestselling Peter Pan prequels, written with Ridley Pearson; his Christmas story The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog; Class Clown; Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far); and I'll Mature When I'm Dead. Barry lives in Coral Gables, Florida, with his family and a domestic staff of forty-seven.
Praise for Live Right and Find Happiness
“Worth every penny when it comes to humor and insight. It’s
wonderful to see that he hasn’t stopped writing about our foibles
and his somewhat unique perspective on what makes us tick. And he’s
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 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
