One Man's Humble Quest to Improve Himself by Living as a Woman, Becoming George Washington, Telling No Lies, and Other Radical Tests
One man. Ten extraordinary quests. Best-selling author and human guinea pig A. J. Jacobs puts his life to the test and reports on the surprising and entertaining results. He goes undercover as a woman, lives by George Washington’s moral code, and impersonates a movie star. He practices "radical honesty", brushes his teeth with the world’s most rational toothpaste, and outsources every part of his life to India - including reading bedtime stories to his kids.
And in a new adventure, Jacobs undergoes scientific testing to determine how he can put his wife through these and other life-altering experiments—one of which involves public nudity.
Filled with humor and wisdom, My Life as an Experiment will immerse you in eye-opening situations and change the way you think about the big issues of our time—from love and work to national politics and breakfast cereal.

Any additional comments?
I had read his previous books and was looking forward to listening to this one. Did not find this as humorous as his previous works but still enjoyable. Looking forward to his next book.A.J. Jacobs Fan

What did you love best about My Life as an Experiment?
I'm a big A.J. Jacobs fan and have enjoyed all of his books. This book is very entertaining. But, Mr. Jacobs should get a new narrator. He narrated his own book and I equate his voice to that of Kermit. And, it is trivial, but the music played between chapters is really cheesy.Entertaining but hard to listen to.

I liked that each chapter of the audiobook was based on a different experiment which AJ tried in his life. My personal favorite was the one about outsourcing. It was really funny to picture AJ's Indian assistants actually finishing his chapter on outsourcing for him.
For anyone who is not familiar with AJ's work, I think the introduction that AJ gives at the beginning of the book does a good job of describing the type of experiments he has done for the purpose of his writing.
Since each chapter is based on a different experiment, this book is good for breaking up over a long amount of time as one chapter does no depend upon the previous chapter for reference.
Incredibly entertaining anecdotes

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This audiobook was entertaining! A.J. Jacobs generally writes short-form pieces for the men's magazine "Esquire" so he doesn't usually drone on-and-on. This is a series of some (8, 10ish?) different "experiments" that he tried on himself by adjusting aspects of his life and personality. Some were more funny than others, but all were entertaining. I don't know if it has changed MY life, but it definitely made my chores easier while listening. (Though, multitasking is apparently not as efficient as one might think, says Jacobs)What was one of the most memorable moments of My Life as an Experiment?
When Jacobs outsources to India his apology to his wife.Entertaining!

This would be ideal for a long car ride with a friend or a summer read. It is not heavy material but it is poignant and funny.
Exactly the right speed for my tired brain
