A.J. Jacobs
Health/Memoir
I meant to get around to reading Mr. Jacobs’ other two books, The Year of Living Biblically and The Know-It-All, but I decided this one sounded much more interesting, so I picked it up instead.
For the past few years, I’ve been trying to be healthier. I’ve been exercising on a regular basis and attempting to purge most junk food from my life. The exercise part is going well, the food part…not so much. Which made this book a really enjoyable read for me since Mr. Jacobs delves so deeply into the eating aspect of being healthy.
Drop Dead Healthy chronicles Esquire writer A.J. Jacobs’ quest to live a more healthy life. Each chapter is about a certain body part (eyes, heart, lungs) or food/diet plan and he looks at both sides of the issues, the criticisms and the endorsements. There are chapters on sleeping better, eating less sugar, breathing better, and the proper way to care for one’s teeth. This is not a small book, but I whipped through it in two days, that’s how interesting it is.
Everyone can learn something from Drop Dead Healthy, so I suggest you pick it up today.
