520    "Having sanctified himself in The Year of Living 
       Biblically and sharpened his mind in The Know-It-All, A. 
       J. Jacobs had one feat left in the self-improvement 
       trinity: to become the healthiest man in the world. He 
       didn't want just to lose weight, or finish a triathlon, or
       lower his cholesterol. His ambitions were far, far greater
       : Maximal health from head to toe.The task was massive. He
       had to tackle a complicated web of diet and exercise 
       advice, much of which was nonsensical, unproven, and 
       contradictory. He had to consult a team of medical 
       advisers. And he had to subject himself to a grueling 
       regimen of exercises, a range of diets, and an array of 
       practices to improve everything from his hearing to his 
       sleep to his sex life all the while testing the patience 
       of his long-suffering wife. He left nothing untested, from
       the caveman workout to veganism, from the treadmill desk 
       to extreme chewing. Drop Dead Healthy teems with hilarity 
       and warmth and pushes our cultures assumptions about and 
       obsessions with what makes good health, allowing the 
       reader to reflect on his or her own health, body, and 
       eventual mortality"--|cProvided by publisher.
