UPDATE Thursday, April 18, 2013: This event has been cancelled due to flooding.

On a mission to improve every aspect of his life—from work to love to family—the best-selling humor author A.J. Jacobs immersed himself in a series of radical lifestyle experiments. He sought spiritual enlightenment, sharpened his mind and, most recently, worked to make over his body and become the world’s healthiest person. In the process he disentangled medical myths from reality. This event is co-sponsored by the Elmhurst Public Library and the Friends of the Elmhurst Public Library, with support from Elmhurst College.
