A.J. Jacobs (@ajjacobs) takes over the show
for a special episode. A.J. is a kindred guinea pig of
self-experimentation who chronicles his shenanigans in books that
seem to keep winding up as New York Times best sellers. The
Know-It-All was about his quest to learn everything in the world.
In The Year of Living Biblically, he tried to follow all the
rules of the Bible as literally as possible. Drop Dead Healthy
followed his well- (and ill-) advised experiments to become the
healthiest person alive. My Life as an Experiment is about
exactly what it sounds like, and It's All Relative aimed to
connect all of humanity in one family tree.
His latest book, Thanks a Thousand: A Gratitude Journey,
chronicles his journey around the world to personally thank
everyone along the supply chain who makes his morning cup of
coffee a possibility: the farmer of the coffee beans, the
barista, the designer of the logo for the coffee, the truck
driver who transported the coffee beans, the guy who painted the
yellow lines on the road so the truck wouldn't veer into traffic,
the inventor of the cardboard sleeve that goes around the coffee
cup (aka the paper zarf) so you don't burn your fingers, and on
and on.
In this episode, A.J. will be taking us through 10 strategies for
being happier through gratitude in these stressful times and his
agreement to do so just builds upon the gratitude I already have
for this man. I hope you enjoy, and if you benefit in some way
from these strategies, please feel free to reach out and thank
him.
Bonus: if you pre-order his latest book or let him know how much
you've appreciated his earlier work, he may even personally thank
you back with a handwritten card (details found here)!
