Summary

In this, his long-awaited collection of worldly wisdom, Dr. Larry Harte dispenses the type of good-natured advice that makes Brooklyn-ese Proverbs and Cartoons a worthy successor to Poor Richard's Almanack.
Culled from a lifetime spent in Brooklyn — the heart of American culture — Dr. Harte's aphorisms and pungent proverbs sparkle with wit and warmth, yet his counsel is never heavy handed or "preachy."
Both inspiration and aspirational, this collection serves to articulate the hopes and dreams of the common man, all served with a delicious Brooklyn-ese flavor.
So sit back and let the "Flatbush Philosopher" guide you through life's winding road with grace, panache, and practical wisdom.
Dr. Harte's other publications include "Oh, My Aching Head" and "Listen Up! Musings & Cartoons."
