Size Matters: How Height Affects the Health, Happiness, and Success of Boys - and the Men They Become by Stephen S. Hall

With a bracing mix of fresh research, incisive reportage, and personal candor, Size Matters uncovers the causes and effects of society’s bias against shortness and reveals how short people can and do thrive inspite of this insidious bigotry. Drawing on his own childhood experience (he was shorter than 99 percent of boys his age) and extensive investigation and interviews, Stephen Hall explores the fraught phenomenon of bullying and charts its lifelong consequences. He seeks out the factors determining that one person’s small stature will lead to low status while another short person develops resilience that will enrich his later life.
