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

" Entertaining, as always, with its share of cocktail-party facts. I agree that the immersive broad-sweep format suits health research less than reading encyclopedias, but even so Jacobs saw payoff in his own numbers. Basically, not being so obsessive and hating working out, I'm doomed. No treadmill desk for me. "

" I love A.J. Jacobs' books. They give you a perfect mix of information and humour. Not quite as funny as The Year of Living Biblically but still good for more than a few chuckles. I also learned a bunch about the health industry. My favourite trivia fact: Nike's "Just Do It!" slogan is inspired by Gary Gilmore's plea to have the state put him to death! Good to know! Thanks A.J.! "

" Although I enjoyed this book it wasn't nearly as funny as his previous books. "

" Fun! Easy to read with some great advice mixed in. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this fun look at many of things we are told to do for our health. I was happy to see somethings debunked and loved the final decisions Jacobs makes in continuing to try to live a healthier lifestyle. Refreshing as he was in The Know-I-All. "

" This man is funny! Since I thoroughly enjoyed the Year of Living Biblically I thought it would be fun to give this one a try. I just love the way he throws himself into these projects, trying to look into every aspect of his subject, and then keeping his reader amused while handing out multitudes of facts. (Caveat: I am very glad not to be married to him. His wife must a a candidate for canonization by the time he finishes one of these projects.) If you are at all interested in eating well, exercising right, and living a healthy lifestyle - without taking yourself too seriously - read this one. "

" Another good book by AJ Jacobs. It wasn't my favorite but I still thought it was good.. although I have to say the Sofia Vergara anecdote just felt petty to me. Otherwise, I laughed, I learned a bit and I'm still thinking about it after it's over so that's a good sign. :) "

" I love AJ Jacobs and this book was no exception. I can't say I learned a whole lot of new information that I'll use but I sure enjoyed going on the ride with him. "

" Really good. Interesting, funny, easy to read, very enjoyable. "

" Everything I have read by A.J. Jacobs is so smart and funny. Fun summer reads you can take a chapter at a time. "

" I like this guy. His books are funny. This one was enjoyable too. I sometimes feel sorry for his wife with all the crazy stuff he does :) "

" This book is awsome! I'd recommend to anyone who has a sense of humor and is interested in their health! "

" I love A.J. Jacobs. The perfect book for healthy new year's resolutions and some good laughs. There is a lot of good advice buried in here and some fads I've been curious about are investigated. A very good read. "

" engaging. silly, now & then. I suspect this book is more fun the more you're a regular jacobs reader. "

" I wasn't wild about this book. The author is just too self-centered. "

" Jacobs writes with humor and humility, and there are some interesting health take-aways in Drop Dead Healthy. I just didn't feel like I learned enough practical information (that I didn't already know) to justify 400 pages. "

" Not quite as enjoyable for me as The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible but still a fun, interesting read. "

" If you can overlook the unnecessary jabs to conservatives, the book was enjoyable. A.J. Jacobs is a funny writer and his insane look at health issues brings some sanity to the subject. "

" I loved this book! It was extremely informative and humorous. "

" Funny, informative, interesting. Great if you're mildly interested in the topic or if you're looking for ideas on how to improve your health. Most of the tips are not really usable, but it's interesting to know what's out there and then choose what suits you. "

" Worth reading, barely. Particularly if you are confused and exasperated by the whole health industry. Or even if you just feel overchallenged by the road to good health "

" Not my favorite of AJ's books. It was a little too unfocused but overall an enjoyable read nonetheless. "

" Funny and informative but not a credible source of information on health. It's more like someone's diary as they explore different aspects of health. "

" Simply delightful. Informative and totally entertaining. Many good belly laughs. "

" interesting read with a good amount of humor. "
