Drop Dead Healthy: One Man's Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection

Author: A.J. Jacobs



This book reads like a stand up comic act on what you need to do to stay healthy. The first few chapters  will have you laughing until your sides hurt, which by the way, is healthy in itself. AJ not only researches all the exotic and esoteric diet fads, but also tries them out on himself. The results are a hilarious romp through the jungle of healthy regimens, many of which are bordering on insanity. However, the book is not only humorous but also packs a good dose of information that you will find useful if you care about a healthy diet. The jokes run thin after a while and I was thankful that AJ didn't go much above a couple of hundred pages in his attempt to educate and entertain us on our health habits.
