Life Lessons from Dave Barry

Resumen del Editor

An uproariously funny examination of what one generation can teach to another - or not - from the Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times - best-selling author of You Can Date Boys When You're Forty and Insane City. During the course of living (mumble, mumble) years, Dave Barry has gained much wisdom* (*actual wisdom not guaranteed), and he is eager to pass it on - to the next generation, the generation after that, and 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 learner's permit in 2015, the thought of which scares Dave silly).

He explores the hometown of his youth, when all the men went to the city in suits and hats but still seemed to be having un-Mad Men-like fun, and how they turned into the neurotic hover-parents of today. He dives into everything from Google Glass (bottom line: "You feel like an idiot") to why men hate birthdays and anniversaries; from how to speak Spanish to firsthand accounts of the soccer craziness of Brazil and the just-plain-crazy craziness of Putin's Russia, and a lot more besides. By the end, if you do not feel wiser, richer in knowledge, and more attuned to the universe...it wouldn't be surprising. But you'll have had a lot to laugh about!

Dave Barry is laugh out loud funny!

The book was hilarious. Classic Dave making you laugh out loud at life's foibles. Highly recommend this book to all!!!

it was amazing

this book is amazing and I have no clue why there is 4 bad reviews because this book is funny and the people who don't like it are probably 5 years old.

This may be the best yet from Dave Barry.

I love Dave Berry's books. This may be the best one I've read so far. If anything can go wrong before a wedding, it goes wrong here. Crazy characters and situations abound. I laughed out loud many times while listening to this Audible book. Keep them coming Mr. Barry, and I'll keep buying them. I never read or listened to a book a second time, but this may be the one I want to hear again! Highly recommend to anyone with a sense of humor.

Another great Dave Barry series of essays

Having Dave narrate his work is an added bonus. The letter to his Grandson is a gem.

Needed 10 more chapters!

Hilarious! And however you say Tinker Bell in Russian! Muck luck? I don't know. ooog!

Amusing Light Fun

I loved listening to Dave Berry reads his funny stories. I think listening instead of reading his material is very satisfying. It is like being at a party and having the best wit all to yourself.

Laugh Out Loud Funny

I was so happy to have found and purchased this audiobook, written and narrated by Dave Barry. I intend to listen to all his others, though I have read a few back before audiobooks were even a thing. I adore Dave Barry because he is HILARIOUS. Who doesn't need authentic, gut busting laughs based on true life stories? It's Dave's authenticity and honesty that make him so funny, and I won't even try to give examples here.

Been awhile Dave

At various times over the last 35 years, I have been blessed to read Dave Barry - newspapers, books etc. I have never been disappointed, and I have always, at minimum, smiled in amusement. His humorous take on poignant subjects gives me hope in a chaotic, confused world. “Live Right” exemplifies his wit, humor and poignancy. Laugh out loud humor intertwined with poignant observations on life make for an enjoyable listen or read. Thanks Dave.

Another great one from Dave Barry

It's funny and sarcastic, but not in a mean way

This work is easily just as good as the great books from Dave Barry I've loved since I started them in the 90's

Dave's the best

Dave Barry is the best! love hearing him read the books he writes! good decent humor.
