"Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Principles for Delicious Living" is a book written by famous actor, Nick Offernan. He is most known for his role as "Ron Swanson" on the hit TV show, "Parks and Recreation", which went on for 6 seasons. His character, also known as "Ron Fucking Swanson", is a fan-favorite - He plays a very tough, manly, bureaucracy-hating, nature-loving, handyman that loves breakfast food and brunettes. He is also the "Director of the Parks Department", even though he doesn't believe in government...
Nick Offerman plays "Ron Swanson" so well because the character is not far from Nick's personality anyway, so it's an easy transition. In real life, he is a manly, nature-loving, carpenter that builds stuff by hand like chairs and canoes. It's hard work and a tedious process, yet this is something he does for fun in his free time. Now he has also written a book and I'm not a 'do-it-yourself' kind of guy, but I would definitely read this book just because Offerman wrote it. He was the prefect casting choice for "Ron Swanson" because for all intents and purposes, he IS "Ron Swanson".
He even married famous actress, Megan Mullally, who also plays on "Parks and Recreation" as "Ron's" psycho ex-wife, "Tammy". Though, in real life they have a much more functional relationship than they do on the show.
"Paddle Your Own Canoe" features tales from Offerman’s childhood, his magnificent seduction of his wife, and also shares his strategies and invaluable advice about manliness, love, styles, religion, assorted meats, and outdoor recreations.
