From the mysterious to the miraculous to the mundane, this book will tell you all you need to know about everything¡ÂÂÂand then some. Have you ever considered climbing Mount Everest? Do you know what to do if a tailgater, blazing his high beams, won't go around you? Have you ever been vexed by chopsticks? These topics and many more are illuminated with wit and brevity. You¡¯ll get useful advice about a myriad of subjects including: personal finance, health, sports, travel, automobiles, careers, and food. And the information is not hidden behind a lot of jargon or filler material. With just a few pages devoted to each area of discussion, you will learn things like how to negotiate with a contractor, try your own court case, join Mensa, become a movie star, get a patent, avoid getting hit by lightning, run a democracy¡ÂÂÂeven save the earth. And that¡¯s just a small sample of topics¡ªfrom the glorious to the goofy¡ªcovered within. Consider some of the other facts brought to light in The Know-it-all's Guide to Life: • Eating chocolate before bedtime can disrupt your sleep. • 40 percent of totaled cars are fixed up and resold to unsuspecting buyers. • You can acquire a genuine British title of nobility for as little as $5,000. • By writing just one letter, you can eliminate most of the junk mail you receive. • You can lose weight by chewing sugarless gum. • You need to own at least 20 different stocks to have a well-diversified portfolio. • You will improve your recall if you skim written material first, then read it through completely. • Mashed potatoes and gravy are a healthier fast food choice than French fries. Intrigued? Whether you are a do-it-yourselfer or just intellectually curious, this book is the ultimate guide to modern life. John T. Walbaum is a writer, consultant, and professional know-it-all who has been telling people what to do, whether they like it or not, for most of his life.
