This & That

11 May

Tall folks earn $789 more per inch per year… Tall people consistently display a few behaviors that are directly correlated to success, which can be mimicked by anyone. For example, sociologists find that coworkers tend to give tall people four feet of personal space, about the same amount they give to their bosses. And tall people are also more likely to be the “leader” in any group, whether choosing a lunch spot or a corporate takeover target, a habit that develops young, when other children naturally relate to tall kids as older peers.

—Excerpt from an interview with Arianne Cohen, author of The Tall Book. 

This perspective is a much-welcomed flip side to the “being tall makes buying pants a completely hellish experience” view I’ve always had of my definitely tall-ish height.
