In today’s episode, we talk to friend-of-the-pod, and New York Times Best-Selling author AJ Jacobs.  AJ is an editor at large for Esquire, as well as a journalist, author, and lecturer best known for writing about his lifestyle experiments.  He’s also a fellow ADHDer. 

AJ talks to us about his latest book, The Year of Living Constitutionally.  We discuss:

  • How his year of living like a colonial American affected AJ’s mental health (mostly in good ways)

  • Lifestyle lessons from Benjamin Franklin
  • And election cakes
