Mark Twain's Words of Wisdom presents the best of the curmudgeonly writer's thoughts on diet, exercise, medicine, smoking, drinking, romance, parenting, old age, fashion, finances, politics, stress management and more. Curated by a well-known Twain expert and mining through lesser-known texts, speeches and notebooks; it's the perfect gift for anyone who has had enough of Gwyneth's self-righteous advice and the ramblings of the blogosphere.
