How would our human species compare to other advanced species across the Universe? Would we be considered a successful advanced species or a not-so-successful advanced species?

Inside this book you will find the following hypothetical situation: A highly successful advanced species from another Galaxy has been observing us and learning about our ways for a long time. They are now ready to share with us their thoughts and ideas about how we live here on Planet Earth. They will be grading us across several different categories much like a teacher grades a student.

The 9 Categories we are graded on: Technology, the Economy, Entertainment, Health, Management of Life's Stresses, Mental State, Equality, Preparing our Young for Life's Challenges, and Planet Maintenance.

Are we a highly successful A/B type species or are we something less? The answer is revealed within these pages.
