From the publisher

In an attempt to reclaim the sullied reputation of mediocrity as a benchmark of relative success, this humorous and unconventional self-appreciation guide celebrates all things ordinary. By focusing on redefining both success and mediocrity, hilarious anecdotes stress how to live life with a truer measure of happiness. Peppered throughout are entries in the "Mediocrity Hall of Fame," highlighting famous folks such as Kylie Minogue, Kevin Costner, and George W. Bush--who aren't as fabulous as they seem. Brimming with hilarious insight and lashings of philosophical genius, the not-so-sage but funny advice provided for working moms, corporate ladder climbers, and jaded singles offers consolation for their perceived shortcomings.
