A.J. Jacobs: My year of living biblically

This is a really fascinating watch. Journalist A.J. Jacobs talks about his year of living biblically. He identified the over 700 rules and laws found in the Bible and worked to keep them. He shares some funny anectdotes about the challenges. While he does not convert to any particular religion as a result, he shares a few lessons that he learned including that behavior modifies thoughts (fake it 'till you make it), that there is something to rites and rituals, that we should revere the sacred, and that giving thanks and being grateful make you happy.
