After sharpening his mind in The Know-It-All and achieving
spiritual enlightenment in The Year of Living Biblically, A.J.
Jacobs had only one thing left to tackle in the self-improvement
trinity: the body. But his mission wasn't just to lose a couple of
pounds, but to turn his current self - 'a mushy, easily winded,
moderately sickly blob' - into a paragon of health and vitality.
Armed with a team of medical advisers and a 53-page task list,
Jacobs set to work. He subjected his body to a brutal regime of
exercise programmes - extreme chewing, anti-gravity yoga and
shoeless jogging to name only a few; sampled every miracle diet
going, beginning with the 'coffee, booze and chocolate' plan
through the 'Rastafarian diet' to raw foodism; as well as
sharpening his eyes and mind, testing every known method, and the
patience of his long-suffering wife, in his quest to become as
healthy as humanly possible. Drop Dead Healthy is a hilarious
account of one man's painful journey from slob to superman, and a
fascinating and eye-opening examination of what it really means to
be healthy. Revealing the ugly truth about the assumptions and
obsessions we have about our bodies, this might just be the
healthiest book you'll ever read.
