Description	The Guinea Pig Diaries: My Life As An Experiment is a book by A. J. Jacobs, an editor at Esquire magazine, published in 2009. On a mission to improve aspects of his life A. J. Jacobs becomes a human guinea pig, putting himself through a series of extreme lifestyle experiments.In the book, Jacobs attempts to change the way he thought, talked, and looked. He immerses himself in his experiments and each comes with a conclusion about the lessons he has learned. Some of the experiments Jacobs participates in include:What Would George Washington Do:Jacobs decides to follow in the footsteps of George Washington. He obeys the Founding Father’s “110 Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation.”The Unitasker:After realizing all the distractions in his life, he pledges to quit multitasking. By unplugging his laptop, putting away his cell phone, tying himself to his desk he attempts to rewire his brain to be the most focused person alive.I Think You’re Fat:Jacobs becomes a temporary convert to the Radical Honesty movement, which teaches you that you should never lie: you should completely remove the filter between your brain and your mouth and say whatever is on your mind.240 Minutes of Fame:After noticing their very similar appearance, Jacobs assumes the identity of actor Noah Taylor and crashes the Academy Awards.My Outsourced Life:Jacobs hires a team in India to take care of everything in his life from phone calls to arguments with his wife to reading bedtime stories to his son.The Rationality Project:Jacobs attempts to eliminate every irrational bias to change the way he makes decisions by using the insights of behavioral economics.My Life as a Beautiful Woman:Jacobs assumes the identity of his children's nanny and ventures into online dating to get a better understanding of dating from a woman's point of view.The Truth about Nakedness:Esquire magazine asked Mary-Louise Parker to pose nude. She agreed to it only if the editor, who happened to be Jacobs, also posed nude.Whipped (a.k.a. the perfect spouse):Since his wife, Julie, has put up with all of his crazy ideas, Jacobs vows to spend a month agreeing to obey her every command.
