Do the clothes we wear make us happier? Bestselling author A.J. Jacobs (The Year of Living Biblically) will answer that question. Join A.J. this Sunday at the Free PurimFest Open House at Congregation Rodeph Sholom at 7 West 83rd Street as he takes us through The Transformative Power of Costumes.
In his literary adventures, A.J. has worn a robe with sandals (living biblically for a year), colonial breeches with a tricorn hat (pledging to live by the U.S. constitution in 1789 for one month strictly and literally), and even a 100% plastic-free outfit (a 24-hour experiment in the present year). It is safe to say that he knows how the clothes we wear can have a surprisingly powerful effect on our happiness and outlook.
By making his life one grand experiment, he reveals truths that dare us to see our habits and beliefs in a new light. A.J. will make us laugh while his insights will compel us to think differently. Oh, and A.J. welcomes your costumes, although not required. Reception to follow.
