AJ Jacobs is an author, lecturer, and human guinea pig. He’s written four New York Times bestsellers that combine memoir, science, humor, with a dash of self-help. In addition to his books, he has written for The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, New York Magazine, and Dental Economics – one of the top five magazines about the financial side of tooth care. He has appeared on Oprah, The Today Show, Good Morning America, Conan, and The Colbert Report.
In today’s episode, AJ shares his journey as a writer, and dad with ADHD, and how his lifestyle experiments have affected both himself, and those around him. AJ talks about how the way we behave can affect the way we think, the power of gratitude, as well as how his ADHD affects him, and the strategies he has developed to manage it, where he gets his ideas, and talking spoons.
