Hello.
In today's Good Life update, we've got a couple of fun segments for you, starting off, kicking off with a special guest riff from my friend and cousin and neighbor, New York Times bestselling author of many books.
His latest is called it's all relative, which is a pretty cool exploration of family and what that really means and how we define it.
AJ Jacobs is in the house and I asked him to really share some thoughts on this idea of family.
How we define it, how the way we define it can profoundly connect us to people around the world or even isolate us from people either next door or on the other side of the planet and offer some ideas that might help us kind of live more comfortably and see the humanity in others.
So I'm going to turn it over to AJ in just a few short seconds for a fun and informative guest riff and our science update.
Also some breaking research.
You guys know that I geek out on research and especially on the way that sort of vitality practices can affect us.
We got some really cool new research on how exercise affects one particular part of the brain as we age, so make sure you stay tuned for that as well.
And really excited to share this, as always.
I'm Jonathan Fields and this is good life project.
Hello.
I'm AJ Jacobs.
I'm a writer.
I just wrote a book about family called it's all relative.
And that's what I wanted to riff on today is a little bit about family.
And it started about four years ago.
I got a very strange email that radically changed the way I thought about family and had a big impact on me in general.
And the email said, you don't know me, but I'm your 8th cousin.
