Hello, citizens of Substack! As some of you may know, I’m a writer and human guinea pig. I wrote the book The Year of Living Biblically. 

I love to experiment with my life, and then report back to you with results that I hope will entertain you and give you tips on making your life better. 

My latest experiment is…a Substack newsletter! 

It’s called “Experimental Living.” Every week, I will send you an essay. 

The essay might be about a totally new life experiment. Or it might include fresh insights on previous experiments. Or it might be a personal essay about books, movies, mental health, physical health, food, or my new obsession with walking sticks. 

Today’s is about what I learned from my year of Living Constitutionally. 

Hence the goofy hat. 

So hope you check out Experimental Living. It’s sort of like a 21st-century pamphlet! Thank you!
