1. Naval guide to electronic theory. EDIT: Full name, Dover Basic Electricity - Bureau of Naval Personnel
   
   
2. EDIT: Via ShamelesslyPlugged - Harrison's Internal Medicine
   
   
3. At least one structural engineering textbook
   
   
4. EDIT: Via JoeBobson - Documenta Geigy
   
   
5. At least one world civ text book.
   
   EDIT: If we only had one book to choose, I'd go with "The Art of Shen Ku." This book has pretty much everything humanity would need to survive :)

It's a good thing you're not cutting anymore...

Hey, I didn't even go to prom junior year and didn't have a date senior year. To be trite, it gets better. I'm guessing you're not even 18 yet, but people do get less shallow/more mature over time. A lot of the shorter dudes I know (myself included, at 5'5" - and my dad is 5' flat) ended up doing just fine. Here are some things you can do:

​

1. Bulk up. It's an easy way to compensate for a lack of verticality. Plus, it'll give you a hobby and something to talk about, even if mostly with gym bros and fit chicks. You should also make sure to dress well. You don't have to "peacock" or any of that nonsense, just make sure your clothes fit and don't clash. You can compensate with shortness a little with a hairstyle like a faux-hawk or something, too.
   
2. Get charismatic and confident! There are tons of resources out there on how to develop good social skills, make good conversation, and come across as super interesting. Of course, you can only come across as super interesting by:
   
3. Becoming an interesting person. Find a cool hobby (or job) and get good at it, develop a good sense of humor, get well-informed and worldly. Maybe pick up a martial art or something similarly badass (I'm biased, as I'm a black belt and instructor).

   It's absolutely unfair and absolutely sucks. Unlike weight, you have essentially zero control over it. You *will* have to work harder than someone taller. To the extent that it forces you to work on yourself, though, it's also a good thing.

   Peter Dinklage is 4'4" and married to a total babe. It's not by any means hopeless.

Great Fantastic, thanks for pointing that out!

But what i'm thinking of is a publishable pdf with pictures, one that you could put on a torrent and spread all over the internet. A book similar to what I have in mind is "The Art of Shen Ku - By Zeek"

Oh cool, I read about this methodology in a book call Shen-ku. I wasn't sure if the advice there was sound or what. Are you quoting from a different resource?

I would buy land and books.

With the land, I would set up ecovillages, and I would (also) set aside vast areas where the plants and animals would be able to rejuvenate uninhibited.

I would find like-minded people, and I would ultimately try to integrate them into the enviornment with the wolves and the buffalo and the other animals. Humans can, and have been, ecologically sustainable organisms in natural environments. Not all agriculture is bad. Many Native American groups practiced agriculture in harmony with the rest of the environment.

I am also not against technology. A bow and arrow is technology, any tool that people use is technology. I am, however, against plastics and other harmful chemicals.

I would also build an army with the people who come to live on my land. There is no shortage of people - homeless people, high-school and college dropouts, homeless children, the unemployed, environmentalists, and lots of people I talk to IRL would be down for this idea.

I would learn assorted martial arts, I would teach them to others, and I would have the others teach them to more people, and we would spend a lot of time on it. This would be both for the health benefits and the self-defense benefits. It would be an army of ninjas, who also grow their own food and are self-sustaining. This will be great in case of societal failure or economic collapse. I would also teach/learn as many natural survival skills as I can. The goal of the army would be to establish peace and not wars, and to help people achieve independence (from money, oil, and industry) while also keeping a healthy relationship with the environment and the other animals.

We would also care for our children. We would raise them to be physically healthy and open-minded. We would not overshelter them, or put taboos on their sexuality, and we would make it the job of the entire community (especially the elders) to educate and take care of them. We will not over-shelter them or raise them to be weak. We will teach them how to socialize with each other in healthy ways, in an open, nurturing, loving environment. We'll also make it official policy that everything we do is done with the well-being of the next seven generations in mind.

There are also some books that I would want to buy and distribute. They include Circle of Life Traditional Teachings of Native American Elders, by James David Audlin, The Other Side of Eden, by Hugh Brody, The Conversations with God trilogy, by Neale Donald Walsch, The Art of Shen Ku, by Zeek, The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, by Thom Hartmann, A Practical Guide to Setting Up Ecovillages and Intentional Communities, by Diana Leafe Christian, and I'm sure there's lots of other good ones. You should really conduct your own search, but I feel all the ones I've listed have valuable information and the power to change the ideas of large groups of people. Anything on Native American culture, history, and philosophy, or on organic gardening, or self-sustainability in general. I might even set up my own bookstore or library, now that I think about it, and make more money. I'm definitley not against making money, because everyone in our world believes in money and money is power in our society.

The art of shen-ku, by Zeek. Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but a great survival resource.http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Shen-Ku-Intergalactic/dp/0399527257
