Order A.J.'s New Book

The idea was deceptively simple: New York Times bestselling author A.J. Jacobs 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.

"It's a novel idea, and it works as more than just a clever plot device thanks to the author's typically conversational tone and self-deprecating examination of his own need to be more gracious. Thanks to the miracle of caffeine, the author delivers a stirring, nonpreachy sermon on gratitude."

- Kirkus Reviews

"Uplifting … full of self-deprecating humor. Every thank you effectively drives home the intended notion that we are all, in fact, far more connected than we realize and have much to be grateful for."
