by David Zinczenko, Ted Spiker

Fascinating facts and wise advice for everybody who strives to be better than average, with their health, finances, relationships, bodies, sex lives, careers, and every other aspect of life.

Average may be good enough for high-school slackers, but it's not good enough for the rest of us. Here, David Zinczenko, Men's Health editor-in-chief and best-selling author of The Abs Diet, combines all-new statistics with wisdom from the pros in a variety of fitness, health, nutrition, career, finance, style, and more, to reveal the secrets of achieving excellence in every aspect of life.

The book is crammed with insightful information and life-changing advice on such things as making and saving more money, living longer, developing and keeping better relationships, having more and better sex, achieving career goals, building a fit and healthy body, and enjoying everything that life has to offer. Going beyond the sheer entertainment value of the fascinating factoids and statistics themselves, the book provides prescriptions for improvement for all women and men who know that "average isn't good enough."
