#51 My awesome guest this week is New York Times best-selling author AJ Jacobs. I truly loved this conversation. AJ had been on quite a journey. It truly inspired me and I wouldn’t have accepted a no to get him on my podcast 🙂
Thanks A Thousand. The idea was deceptively simple: A.J. decided to thank every single person involved in producing his morning cup of coffee. The resulting journey takes him across the globe, transforms his life, and reveals secrets about how gratitude can make us all happier, more generous, and more connected.
