Hello. I’m A.J. Jacobs, a writer, podcaster, and human guinea pig. Welcome to my new and improved (but still free of charge!) newsletter. Each week, I’ll be sending out an original short essay about my life experiments. My plan is to mix memoir, humor, science, and a dollop of self-help so you can get life-improving tips and wisdom without having to undergo the painful and embarrassing parts of these lifestyle experiments. You can leave that to me. That’s my job.
Subscribed to you from my other substack, and signing up from this one! You were kind enough to answer my email years ago when I was relatively new to journalism, and I still have your email pinned to my bulletin board (that sounds creepier when I write it out, lol). I used to re-read your "Living Biblically" and "Drop Dead Healthy" whenever I was stressed and needed to laugh. Looking forward to following you!
Reading/signing up etc. at 12:03am - a loyal Canadian cousin - thoroughly enjoyed the laugh esp after the not so fun or funny debate I watched tonight (not meaning to be political - it was what it was). I'm looking forward to future smiles and laughs - have been a fan from your Know-it-All book ;)
Greetings to my favorite NY cousin! How exciting to read of your new (ad)venture. I've kept up with you through your books and am anxious to get caught up with your life experiments.

Instant subscribe. The Living Biblically book was my favorite with Drop Dead Healthy as my second favorite.
I’m excited to have you on here. Love your previous books, and am about to crack about “…Constitutionally.”
Loved your book Living Biblically. Good to hear from you again. It's been years. Vickie

Make sure you open each of your mails with "Hello fellow sents!" (and then explain why). We can't have too much Sentientist and vegan propaganda :)
Ha! Thank you, my sent!
Big fan here! Very excited to see what's to come!!
Thank you Sophie! Love to hear it.
This sounds like so much fun! 🤗
Thank you for giving us the advantage to learn from all your experiences. 😄
Much love from your longtime fan from Germany 🤗
(Hopefully in some way your distant) cousin Hanna
Thank you Cousin Hanna! (Definitely a cousin, no doubt about it)
