If there’s a very important factor that New York Times bestselling writer and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Dave Barry can be an expert on, it’s bringing up a daughter.

…which means he’s not an expert in much considering the breadth of his knowledge on that subject fills only an individual chapter of the book. Nevertheless, what Dave Barry is normally good at is definitely giving unsolicited suggestions on topics he’s definitively not an expert on. Actually, he now comes with an whole book filled with guidance on things he knows nothing about, including: surviving in the open, wooing ladies, cremation, keeping a scintillating discussion, Justin Bieber, the U.S. Postal Services, enduring the TSA, the Israeli-Palestinian discord, and, most obviously, being a professional author.

With trademark wit and unmatched insight in to the insanity of everyday life, Dave Barry presents some hilarious, never-before-published essays on the trials and tribulations of living and laughing in the modern age.
