More quotes by 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 found there were things about religion that I really loved things like the sense of gratefulness that it brings.
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
One of the interesting things to me is that God grows throughout the Old Testament. He evolves, sort of matures, and becomes kinder.
A. J. Jacobs
Jealousy is a useless, time-wasting emotion that's eating me alive.
A. J. Jacobs
I tried the paleo diet, which is the caveman diet - lots of meat. I tried the raw food vegan diet. And I tried the calorie restriction diet, which is the idea is that if you eat very, very little - if you're on the verge of starvation, you will live a very long time. Whether or not you want to, of course, is the idea.
A. J. Jacobs
I have little shame, no dignity – all in the name of a better cause.
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
I've rarely said the word Lord, unless it's followed by of the Rings.
A. J. Jacobs
I've started to look at life differently. When you're thanking God for every little you - every meal, every time you wake up, every time you take a sip of water - you can't help but be more thankful for life itself, for the unlikely and miraculous fact that you exist at all.
A. J. Jacobs
I prefer the earlier birth control techniques, which ranged from the delicious (using honey as a spermicide) to the aerobic (jumping backward seven times after coitus).
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
A 2002 Oxford study showed counting sheep actually delays the onset of sleep. It's just too dull to stop us from worrying about jobs and spouses.
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 was what they call 'skinny fat' - a body that resembled a python after swallowing a goat.
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
I love to live things, so I wanted to immerse myself and get into the mindset - and sandals - of my forefathers.
A. J. Jacobs
Its sort of my job to feel good.
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
The year showed me beyond a doubt that everyone practices cafeteria religion... But the important lesson was this: there's nothing wrong with choosing. Cafeterias aren't bad per se... the key is in choosing the right dishes. You need to pick the nurturing ones (compassion), the healthy ones (love thy neighbor), not the bitter ones.
A. J. Jacobs
