The Book of Awesome
The Book of Awesome | Neil Pasricha
The author behind 1000awesomethings.com celebrates the good things in life- by the sheer power of their awesomeness. Based on the award-winning blog 1000awesomethings.com, The Book of Awesome is a high five for humanity and a big celebration of life's little moments and the underappreciated, simple things that make us happy, from popping bubble wrap to hitting a bunch of green lights in a row, to waking up thinking it's Monday and realizing it's Saturday. With wise, witty observations from writer Neil Pasricha, this treasure trove is filled with smile-inducing musings that make readers feel like kids looking at the world for the first time: AWESOME!

I really love this book because it‘s full of people ideas that you could experience in the future and things that you already experienced in past. I think that if you like feeling happy when reading then you will be happier when reading this book. And this book is well written in second person point of view. Read this now!

MissYaremcio Thank you for the review Irish! I would have just liked a little bit more in the summary. 5/6 2y

4/6, I‘ve only ready around 20 pages. This book is awesome, it‘s super easy to read and has the ability that If you read it, you would only be able to see what you thought in your head not from a movie. It has a bunch of relatable stuff. Like the feeling of getting the milk to cereal radio just right. That feeling. You experience so many emotions and feelings in just a couple of pages. If you like books that are relatable then this is for YOU!

Irish.Omeasoo The theme of this book is want nothing+ do anything= have everything. This probably means that if you aren‘t greedy and you listen to what people say you might just get a reward✌️ 3y
MissYaremcio Nicely done Irish! This is one of my favourite books of all time! 6/6 3y

That awesome moment when an author of one of your favorite book series uses your entire day of awesome moments publicly on his social media page…

The final results of this day weren‘t anything like what I expected they‘d be, but having one of your favorite authors recognize that which you think is awesome?

AWESOME!!

I‘m usually a fairly upbeat person, but the news lately is starting to wear on me. I think this book is just what I need! 😊

wanderinglynn I feel ya. 💚 I‘ve gotten to the point where I don‘t even turn on the news or social media on the weekends because I just can‘t. 3y
Sparklemn @wanderinglynn Same! And this week I‘ve stayed off social media altogether…except Litsy of course. It‘s helped. 3y

The book is a great book as it shines light on a lot of scenarios that might have been frustrating at times. Each chapter is like a little short story of different events, this is nice because there are no cliff hangers. I absolutely love the book as it gives you a different view point and really opens your eyes to observe everything from another point. If you like books that have relevant information to your life this is definitely one of them.

Trenton.Otis I believe that this book was written in first person as the author uses alot of description of what takes place. This gives you as the reader a sense that your in their place experiencing that exact same situation. 5y
MissYaremcio @Trenton.Otis Great review! I love this book! In fact, I have one at home that I continually add “the good things“ to! 5y

The Book of Awesome is based on how even in the toughest times there is still something awesome. The recurring motif in the book is how everything has something awesome even if it takes you sometime to realize it. An example is when you're trying to come up with a topic for your essay and then it hits you and its like boom awesome. I would totally recommend this book for someone to read as it opens you up to see the best in everything.

MissYaremcio Love this book! Great work on summarizing it! 6/6 5y

Overall, I think this was an enjoyable read. Personally, I didn‘t like the fact that there was no actual story but I think some people prefer that.

There are times when you have to sit back and appreciate the small things that make ordinary days special. When you get your favourite seat on the train...MOMENT OF AWESOME. When you have the exact change at the store ... MOMENT OF AWESOME. When you find the book you want to read is on sale.... MOMENT OF AWESOME! This is a feel good read that will make you sit back and find joy in the small moments of life! MOMENT OF AWESOME!

I loved this short little audiobook on Canada and the many ways it is awesome! Growing up only a few miles from the Canadian border, I've been able to enjoy a lot of the awesome things about Canada; I just wish their ideas about health care and taxation and equality would also cross over! My jealousy notwithstanding, this quick little listen saw me through my commute today and put a smile on my face. #audiobooks #CanadaIsAwesome #recommendsday

This is not a great photo, but the best I could get with the lighting. I made a couch tent with my woobie. #Awesome

If you follow my blog, fortifiedbybooks.com, you probably know that I'm a Veteran. Even if you don't, you can take a guess from nearly all of my posts here that I ♥️ blankets. I own a lot of blankets, but until yesterday, I haven't had a woobie since the one I had and somehow lost in the Army. The Boyfriend got me this one for Valentine's Day! Even better is that it arrived not long after I got sick. There is no blanket like a woobie. #Awesome

It's gloomy and raining outside. I can't think of a better way to spend my time indoors than snuggled up in a blanket with a book. I will probably add a giant mug of tea before too long.

I read this book years ago and loved it. Every once in a while when I feel overwhelmed I pick it up, flip through and remind myself of the importance of the small things.

Finished 11/14/16 - I loved the idea of this book but the repetition of it got boring and the fact that he felt the need to capitalize and bold random words throughout each entry annoyed me. I probably wouldn‘t have finished it except it was a gift.

May I recommend a fellow Litten if you aren't following him already? (I'm inspired by @steverogers and @MrsMetcalfeReads recent networking posts.) @Reggie has been a member for a few months, and his posts always have plenty of substance and erudition. He always makes me think, which is something I love to do. I highly recommend following Reggie! He's awesome!!! 😎👌🏻 #LitsyFamily #LittenSpotlight

CouronneDhiver I agree! He's great 7y

I've had a rough couple weeks, so I'm glad I was able to talk about one of my favorite "pick-me-up" books in class today. It helped remind me that everything will again be awesome. ?

Joybishoptx I find teaching often helps me get out of my own head. I'm able to put myself in to my work and forget about my own life at least for a little while. Hope things get better! 8y

Life is so great that we only get a tiny moment to enjoy everything we see. And that moment is right now. And that moment is counting down. And that moment is always, always fleeting. You will never be as young as you are right now.

Oh how I long to snark about The Book of Awesome and its happy-go-lucky message of appreciating the little things, but unfortunately people, I drank the Kool-Aide too and am now extremely busy celebrating the minutiae in life!
