In this week’s episode (239), Howie and Harlan are joined by journalist Gary Wolf, author of the new book The Quantified Self: Learning to Observe, and patient researcher Dr. Sara Riggare, who has spent years studying her own experience with Parkinson’s disease to better understand and manage her health. They discuss how systematic self-observation can help people ask better questions and learn more about their own health.

Howie examines Sweden’s use of AI as a second reader of screening mammograms; Harlan asks whether AI will streamline healthcare billing or fuel an arms race between providers and insurers.

I'm excited to share the forthcoming publication of The Quantified Self: Learning to Observe by science journalist and Quantified Self cofounder Gary Wolf!

Back in 2012, after years of self-experiments and analysis, I was pleasantly surprised to discover there was a group of like-minded individuals starting what was to be called the "Quantified Self" movement, co-founded by Gary. Over the years I would speak at many of his conferences and collaborate on some ambitious citizen science experiments, so trust me when I say Gary is chock full of wisdom, and I'm excited to see his knowledge distilled into this book!

Based on nearly two decades of work in the international Quantified Self community, the book translates the techniques of empirical observation into practical reasoning patterns that individuals can apply to questions about their own health and lives.

Its case studies range from pain, cognition, sleep, and digestion to heart health, hormones, and mood. Together, they demonstrate the value of treating personal experience not as a source of easy answers, but as an opportunity for careful investigation.

The Quantified Self will be published by Workman Publishing on October 6, 2026.
