More quotes by 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
I know that knowledge and intelligence are not the same thing - but they do live in the same neighborhood. I know once again, firsthand, the joy of learning.
A. J. Jacobs
I always thought the name of Utah’s major newspaper was some sort of weird misspelling of the word “desert.” But no, Deseret is the “land of the honeybee,” according to the Book of Mormon. I guess I should have figured they would have caught a typo in the masthead after 154 years.
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
It's a different way of looking at the world. Your life isn't about rights. It's about responsibilities.--Mr Bill Berkowitz

I am officially Jewish, but I’m Jewish in the same way the Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant.
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
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
The best we can do, to paraphrase Pollan, is to eat whole foods, mostly plants, and not too much.
A. J. Jacobs
Unconditional love is an illogical notion, but such a great and powerful one.
A. J. Jacobs
Behavior shapes emotions.
A. J. Jacobs
After a while, if you're committed, you start to believe in the things in which you're praying. It's just cognitive dissonance. You can't live a completely religious life and not start to have it sink in.
A. J. Jacobs
I'm addicted to self-improvement. The thing is, there's so damn much about myself to improve.
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
My reading list grows exponentially. Every time I read a book, it'll mention three other books I feel I have to read. It's like a particularly relentless series of pop-up ads.
A. J. Jacobs
My immune system has always been overly welcoming of germs. It's far too polite, the biological equivalent of a southern hostess inviting y'all nice microbes to stay awhile and have some artichoke dip.
A. J. Jacobs
