I love the books of A.J. Jacobs and this one is no exception. In The Guinea Pig Diaries, Jacobs devotes a month each to several "experiments". He outsources his life to two firms in Bangalore, India--this was actually an on-going experiement--and representatives of the firms took care of his schedule, answered his email, argued with his wife, and even, on occasion, read to his son at bedtime. He spends a month practicing Radical Honesty, which is removing all filters between the brain and the mouth. I have a friend who practices this approach to life--has actually almost perfected it--and I have to admit that I'm not a fan having had my self-concept stomped to the ground on numerous occasions. He pretends to be a beautiful woman and signs up his Nanny for an on-line dating service and answers all of the emails that are sent. And for a month he tries to follow all of George Washington's 101 Rules of Conduct. An easy to read, light-weight, fun book. A good choice if you have a spare afternoon.
