The book he has written asks: “Is being a short male a life-long disadvantage?” He answers this question with a resounding “no” in a variety of ways, and with plenty of humor. He looks critically at the scientific studies that have been done on height in relation to success, lists successful short males, and looks at the growth hormone industry. He shows the reader how to frame shortness in positive or neutral ways, how to deal with bullies, and how to make a life that’s meaningful and enjoyable and not determined by height. Though the book appears to be for younger readers, due to the picture of a young boy on the cover and the unusually large font, this book’s depth and humor is intended for teen readers.
