How do you make the perfect cup of tea? What are the moves that will impress a hot date on the dance floor? Is there an optimum angle for skimming a stone? The Geek Guide to Life reveals the geeky secrets to living smarter, offering scientifically sourced advice for dealing with everything life throws at you. Presented with top tips, infographics and a sense of humour, The Geek Guide to Life appeals not just to Star Trek junkies and computer nerds but to anyone seeking answers to some of life's eternal questions.
