Could you live without telling a lie for 30 days? How hard is it to focus on just one task at a time? Can you successfully outsource an argument with your spouse? A.J. Jacobs is up to it again, this time instead of one big experiment, like his "The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible" or "The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World," this time he does a series of 30-day experiments. A.J. takes on: -Radical Honesty -Living like George Washington -Outsourcing his life -Walking the Red Carpet -Trying to be totally rational and remove bias from his life -Being a unitasker and focusing on one task at a time -Using his writing skills to get his nanny a date -Posing naked for Esquire -And for his "saintly" wife Julie, a month doing EVERYTHING she asks. Jacobs writes of his "experiments" with his usual humor, insight, and journalistic approach that readers of his previous work have come to expect.
