Drop Dead Healthy by A. J. Jacobs Book Summary

 From the bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically and The Know-It-All comes the true and truly hilarious story of one person’s quest to become the healthiest man in the world.

Hospitalized with a freak case of tropical pneumonia, goaded by his wife telling him, “I don’t want to be a widow at forty-five,” and ashamed of a middle-aged body best described as “a python that swallowed a goat,” A.J. Jacobs felt compelled to change his ways and get healthy. And he didn’t want only to lose weight, or finish a triathlon, or lower his cholesterol. His ambitions were far greater: maximal health from head to toe.

The task was epic. He consulted an army of experts— sleep consultants and sex clinicians, nutritionists and dermatologists. He subjected himself to dozens of different workouts—from Strollercize classes to Finger Fitness sessions, from bouldering with cavemen to a treadmill desk. And he took in a cartload of diets: raw foods, veganism, high protein, calorie restriction, extreme chewing, and dozens more. He bought gadgets and helmets, earphones and juicers. He poked and he pinched. He counted and he measured.

The story of his transformation is not only brilliantly entertaining, but it just may be the healthiest book ever written. It will make you laugh until your sides split and endorphins flood your bloodstream. It will alter the contours of your brain, imprinting you with better habits of hygiene and diet. It will move you emotionally and get you moving physically in surprising ways. And it will give you occasion to reflect on the body’s many mysteries and the ultimate pursuit of health: a well-lived life.

Funny, informative. The other reviewers must be stoned. I don't find much funny. But this book was a riot. Useful information. And the author has a good sense of humor about himself.

Loved it. A fun, easy-breezy, informative book. Laughter included.

Drop Dead Healthy. This book missed the mark by a long shot. There were only about 50 pages that were funny or worth reading. By the time I hit 350 pages, I had totally lost any interest of trying to find something interesting in the book to read. I know my standards aren't that high or impossible to meet. I just want a book that is written with a purpose to inform or to entertain and this book met neither.

This author is exceptional.. A.J first captured my attention with his book My Life as an Experiment. His style of writing combined with his sense of humor leaves me with a constant smile on my face as I read. Brutal honesty (allegedly) and open mind, can't help but love the subject matters he has covered in other books (Year Living Biblically is amazing) MUST READ

Just ok. Apologies to the author who does come off as a nice guy who I'd like to meet and hang out with (actually even more so his incredibly patient wife), but this book fell far short of my expectations. Yes, there are some laughs and a few - very few - new interesting facts set forth, however there is no "aha" moment. In addition, there are so many topics covered so briefly that no in depth wisdom was imparted. Glad to hear the author is healthier anyway.

Informative and extremely entertaining. I was looking for an entertaining health book and this was it. It may not tell you the perfect end-all to lose weight or be healthy, but there are plenty of great tips and info from someone who isn't a doctor and is just trying to sift through so much 'health' nonsense that is everywhere these days. There isn't any single life changing aspects to this bit plenty of helpful portions I'll take with me in my day-to-day. His writing is very entertaining and filled with good humor as well.
