A.J. Jacobs Biography
A.J. Jacobs is an American journalist, author, lecturer, and self-described human guinea pig known for his immersive approach to nonfiction. Jacobs serves as editor-at-large at Esquire and is a regular contributor to NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Entertainment Weekly. His career is marked by in-depth lifestyle experiments, which he documents through a blend of memoir, science writing, humor, and investigative journalism.
Jacobs is the author of several New York Times bestsellers, including "The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World," which details his experience reading the entire Encyclopedia Britannica. He followed this with "The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible," and "Drop Dead Healthy: One Man's Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection," in which he explored physical health and wellness by overhauling his lifestyle. His Esquire article "My Outsourced Life," chronicling his experiment with outsourcing daily tasks to a team in Bangalore, was excerpted in Timothy Ferriss's "The 4-Hour Workweek."
Jacobs has continued to explore immersive journalism with books such as "Thanks a Thousand: A Gratitude Journey," where he traveled to thank everyone involved in producing his morning coffee, and "The Puzzler: One Man's Quest to Solve the Most Baffling Puzzles Ever, from Crosswords to Jigsaws to the Meaning of Life." In "The Year of Living Constitutionally: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Constitution's Original Meaning," Jacobs adopted the mindset and lifestyle of the Founding Fathers. His book "The Year of Living Biblically" inspired the CBS comedy series Living Biblically. He also hosts "The Puzzler with A.J. Jacobs," a daily podcast produced by iHeart Media.
Jacobs is a frequent public speaker and has delivered multiple TED Talks on topics including living biblically and building a global family tree. His work explores themes of curiosity, gratitude, self-improvement, and human connection, making him a recognized figure in the fields of nonfiction writing, immersive journalism, and personal development.
