AJ Jacobs still reigns as my favorite author. This book is full of month long experiments, similar to his experimental Year of Living Biblically, which is still unmatched as my favorite book.

There are a variety of experiments in this book, my favorite one being the month he outsourced his life to a team in India. Brilliant. And funny. Although I've never read something AJ wrote that I didn't laugh out loud. And frequently call someone to say "This is hilarious, let me read you this part"

He is creative with his ideas and his attempts, he is an excellent writer and he makes you chuckle. And the whole time you are learning something. For example, how many of George Washington's 110 Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour in Company and Conversation can you name? And who knew that the founder of a movement called Radical Honesty lives in Stanley, Virginia? Just over the mountain from where I went to high school. And he has been married 5 times. Guess he is TOO honest, no?

I definitely recommend this book! Light hearted and a quick read!
