Comments Off on AOT #320: A. J. Jacobs Podcasts Drop Dead Healthy: One Man’s Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection
A. J. Jacobs, the bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically and The Know-It-All, discusses his new book Drop Dead Healthy: One Man’s Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection, a true and truly hilarious story of one person’s quest to become the healthiest man in the world.
“I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book, and once again, the brilliant A.J. Jacobs had me laughing out loud – and also deciding to change the way I live. Drop Dead Healthy is a rare mixture of the hilarious, the absurd, and the scientifically sound. Who knew it could be so entertaining to read about broccoli puree and shoeless jogging?” – Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project

Comments Off on AOT #319: Cheryl Strayed Podcasts Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
Cheryl Strayed, the author of the critically acclaimed novel Torch, reads from and discusses her memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail. At twenty-two, Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State-and to do it alone. Told with great suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
