America isn't exceptional — it's the exception America has self-importance in abundance. What it lacks is the data to back it up.

In many of the ways we measure 'the good life' — health, work-life balance, faith in government — the US is falling short. And not just a little bit. Over and over, data show it performing substantially worse than similar countries.

I call it the American Outlier.
