More quotes by A. J. Jacobs
Very few people changed the world by sitting on their couch.
A. J. Jacobs
I love it when the Bible gives Emily Post-like tips that are both wise and easy to follow.
A. J. Jacobs
Med students panic their first year when they learn all the diseases. It's not until the second year that they learn the cures.
A. J. Jacobs
I know that you should always say yes to adventures or you'll lead a very dull life.
A. J. Jacobs
I'm addicted to self-improvement. The thing is, there's so damn much about myself to improve.
A. J. Jacobs
I know that history is simultaneously a bloody mess and a collection of feats so inspiring and amazing they make you proud to share the same DNA structure with the rest of humanity. I know you'd better focus on the good stuff or you're screwed.
A. J. Jacobs
The Bible improved my ethical IQ. I started to act like a good person. I tried not to gossip, and lie, and covet, and just by pretending I was a good person, I think I actually became a little bit better of a person. I'm not Gandhi or Angelina Jolie, but it was a baby step.
A. J. Jacobs
Since I was relatively new to the Bible, I was surprised by the Old Testament God. He's wrathful, but at other times, He's incredibly compassionate. He's not a one-dimensional figure at all.
A. J. Jacobs
Taking the Bible too literally is a mistake. It should be read as a guidebook of wisdom and insight.
A. J. Jacobs
I've never before been so aware of the thousands of little good things, the thousands of things that go right every day.
A. J. Jacobs
A loud noise will get your fight-or-flight response going. This, over the years, can cause real cardiovascular damage.
A. J. Jacobs

A. J. Jacobs
How do you gag the voice in your head that says, 'You don't have to [do it] today. There's always tomorrow.'?
A. J. Jacobs
I'm all for cafeteria religion. I think there's nothing wrong with cafeterias - I've had some great meals at cafeterias. I've also had some horrible meals, so it's important to pick the right things. Take a heaping helping of compassion and mercy, and leave the intolerance on the table.
A. J. Jacobs
I don't believe that prayers actually change God's mind - if there is a God - but I liked praying for people in need. It was like moral weightlifting. I tend to be self-obsessed, and it was nice to get out of my brain once in a while.
A. J. Jacobs
I have little shame, no dignity – all in the name of a better cause.
A. J. Jacobs
The Bible talks a lot about thankfulness, and I'm more thankful than I ever was. I try to concentrate on the hundreds of things that go right in a day, instead of the three or four that go wrong.
A. J. Jacobs
I am officially Jewish, but I’m Jewish in the same way the Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant.
A. J. Jacobs
It's hard to be in a bad mood when you're walking around looking like you're about to play the semifinals at Wimbledon.
A. J. Jacobs
I love to live things, so I wanted to immerse myself and get into the mindset - and sandals - of my forefathers.
