The always-quotable Ron Swanson (played by Nick Offerman) is no stranger to Gentlemint. So naturally we're in favor of anything written by Nick Offerman, like his chart-topping book Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Fundamentals for Delicious Living.

The book features advice on how to grow a mustache, how to woo a woman, woodworking fundamentals, cooking meat... all the things a man should know how to do. In real-life, Offerman runs a wood shop when he's not filming episodes, which ratchets up his manliness by a factor of ten.
