A.J. Jacobs is the author of nine books including the NYT bestsellers The Year of Living Biblically, The Know It All, Drop Dead Healthy, and The Puzzler. His latest, in the spirit of The Year of Living Biblically, is The Year of Living Constitutionally: One Man’s Humble Quest to Follow the Constitution’s Original Meaning.

A.J. joins Marrie Stone to talk about making yourself a guinea pig for your work and how to set up the rule system to do that, researching a bottomless topic and when you know you’ve done enough, walking the political tightrope in divided times, as well as how this book changed A.J.’s thinking on a variety of subjects and the impact of the project.
