Thanks a thousand : a gratitude journey

I love A.J. Jacobs and I was very happy to see that he has written a new book. In the past, Jacobs has written what I call challenge books; Jacobs sets a challenge for himself and has tried to accomplish his goal. In the past, Jacobs has tried to be as healthy as possible; improve himself by following others' advice; become the smartest person in the world; follow the Bible literally. In Thanks a Thousand, Jacobs sets out to thank anyone who had anything to do with his morning cup of coffee. This turns out to be a herculean task; Jacobs ends up finding that he needs to thank virtually everyone in the world.

It's a fun and (somewhat) inspiring book about the power of gratitude on one's happiness. I think Jacobs is actually a slightly less snarky person after this experiment.
