The Puzzler: One Man's Quest to Solve the Most Baffling Puzzles Ever, from Crosswords to Jigsaws to the Meaning of Life
A rollicking journey to understand the enduring power of puzzles: why we love them, what they do to our brains, and how they can improve our world.
Convinced that puzzles have made him a better person, A.J. Jacobs (four-time NYT bestselling author, master of immersion journalism, and nightly crossworder) sets out with The Puzzler to determine their myriad benefits, and maybe, in the process, solve the puzzle of our very existence.
“Even though I’ve never attempted the New York Times crossword puzzle or solved the Rubik’s Cube, I couldn’t put down The Puzzler.” -- Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project and Better Than Before
