Tall people: Smart. Wealthy.
Successful. U.S. Presidents, Oscar Winners, NBA players,
CEOs.
Scrunched into airplane seats. Unable to find
good clothes. Why?
In this, the first book of its
kind, Arianne Cohen—all 6’3" of her—takes us on a tour of
the tall world, traveling from endocrinologists’ offices to
the annual European Tall Club Convention to unlock the
mysteries at the center of talldom: why do tall people
succeed professionally, financially and intellectually far
more than others? Why are tall men the most successful
dating and mating group on earth, while tall women have low
birth rates? And who the hell is behind those airplane
seats?
Part investigation and part personal
story, The Tall Book follows Arianne as she circles
the globe, meeting the tallest people in the world,
questioning them on how to raise a well-adjusted tall kid,
and yes, becoming one half of America’s tallest
couple.
Lively, witty, and erudite, The Tall
Book is a must-read for the tall, the not-so-tall—or
anyone searching for the secrets of living the high
life.
