ABOUT A.J. JACOBS:
A.J. Jacobs is a journalist, lecturer and human guinea pig who has written four bestselling books—including Drop Dead Healthy and The Year of Living Biblically—that blend memoir, science, human and a dash of self-help.

ABOUT THE YEAR OF LIVING CONSTITUTIONALLY: ONE MAN’S HUMBLE QUEST TO FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION'S ORIGINAL MEANING:
In "The Year of Living Constitutionally: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Constitution's Original Meaning," New York Times bestselling author A.J. Jacobs embarks on a hilarious and insightful journey to live according to the original meaning of the U.S. Constitution. Inspired by contemporary debates and Supreme Court rulings, Jacobs dons a tricorne hat and embraces 18th-century customs, from using a quill to write opinions to boiling mutton by candlelight. Through engaging adventures—such as delivering a handwritten petition to Congress and reenacting battles with Revolutionary War groups—Jacobs explores the principles of originalism and living constitutionalism. Blending personal anecdotes with expert interviews, he offers a crash course on America's foundational document, revealing its relevance and challenges in modern democracy.
