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.
