A.J. Jacobs is very, very bad for your health. He will keep you up
reading til 2 a.m., disturbing your circadian rhythms, making you
sleep through breakfast and overeat at lunch. He is delicious. He's
habit-forming. He will give you infectious titters and terminal
glee. Don't let that stop you. Indulge.

Who wouldn't want to be fitter, happier, more productive? In this
riotous, madcap book, AJ Jacobs sets himself an ambitious goal: to
become the person we all wish we could be. It's vintage AJ. Do your
future self a favour and buy this book.
*Joshua Foer, author of 'Moonwalking with Einstein'*
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book, and once again, the
brilliant A.J. Jacobs had me laughing out loud - and also deciding
to change the way I live. Drop Dead Healthy is a rare mixture of
the hilarious, the absurd, and the scientifically sound. Who knew
it could be so entertaining to read about broccoli puree and
shoeless jogging?
*Gretchen Rubin, author of 'The Happiness Project'*
His quirky tone makes it undeniably hilarious … Amongst the
laughter you’ll find genuine fitness and nutrition tips from
someone who is willing to try anything, no matter how embarrassing
it might be.
