The Book of Awesome
Thursday, July 15th, 2010
Waking up and realizing it’s Saturday.
Finding money in your old coat pocket.
That one square in the waffle that’s the most loaded with butter and syrup.
What do they have in common?
They make us feel good. Each creates this instantaneous breath of sheer joy and surprise. An Awesome Moment.
You’ll find these smile-inducing moments and hundreds more in Neil Pasricha’s book, The Book of Awesome.
As Pasricha writes on the book jacket, “Sometimes it’s easy to forget the things that make us smile.”
Isn’t that the truth!
Pasricha has pulled together observations that, when we read them, we immediately know exactly how that moment or activity makes us feel. And it usually brings a smile.
Check out this book. It’s well written, AND it will bring joy to some of the gloomiest days. Really. Find some time to read this book. One Awesome Moment a day is bound to make you feel better.
The website is an event in itself. Everyday people posting their own everyday moments that make them smile. http://www.1000awesomethings.com.
Two more of my favorite moments:
Picking the perfect nacho off someone else’s plate.
Laughing so hard you make no sound at all.
Just Awesome.
