Based on the award-winning 10-million-plus-hit blog 1000awesomethings.com, The Book of Awesome is an international best-selling high five for humanity and a big celebration of life's little moments.

Sometimes it's easy to forget the things that make us smile. With a 24/7 news cycle reporting that the polar ice caps are melting, hurricanes are swirling in the seas, wars are heating up around the world, and the job market is in a deep freeze, it’s tempting to feel that the world is falling apart. But awesome things are all around us, like:

Popping bubble wrap
Wearing underwear just out of the dryer
Fixing electronics by smacking them
Getting called up to the dinner buffet first at a wedding
Watching The Price Is Right when you’re home sick
Hitting a bunch of green lights in a row
Waking up and realizing it's Saturday

The Book of Awesome reminds us that the best things in life are free (yes, your grandma was right). With laugh-out-loud observations from award-winning comedy writer Neil Pasricha, The Book of Awesome is filled with smile-inducing moments that make you feel like a kid looking at the world for the first time. Listen to it and you’ll remember all the things there are to feel good about.

This book is Awesome

Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2017

This book is awesome. There's no other way to put it. Neil Pasricha does an amazing job of capturing the simple things in life that make things so great. I've had this book for years and pick it up every once in a while to remind myself of the little things in life that make it so awesome. I've laughed and nodded my head in agreement with many of the entries. This book is really easy to read and can be read for a minute or two at a time or for as long as you want.

Waste of money

Reviewed in Canada on January 16, 2019

This book is advertised as a self help book meant to inspire people to feel satisfied with their lives. I truly expected something from a psychological side, not a list of idiotic things that I am suppose to ‘appreciate’ in every day life. A sick day watching price is right.. or the last chip in a bag are completely irrelevant to the average non-Neanderthal. I bought this book for my sister, as she has been down, and was lirerally to embarrassed to gift it to her. Book should come with a warning ...’for simple minds’.

I get the gist...

Reviewed in Canada on April 23, 2021

Not so much a novel as it is a flipbook of mundane musings. No characters, no plot, literally a blog made book. If you like reading the same ideas over and over again, then it's great... it only takes the first couple of chapters to get the gist of the entire book. I will admit to it being well-written, and may be suitable to read a quick few pages with your coffee every morning, but it's definitely not a book, or even a story, you can really sink your teeth into.

Not Awesome, But Alright

Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2019

This book is cute if you're younger. (My 13yr old loves it and re-reads it.) As an adult, I appreciated the idea of recognising little daily events that give us good feels. Now that being said, there were some I found selfish and annoying, and some even felt forced like it was to merely fill page space. It's a good bathroom book as far as I'm concerned.

What can I say about a book that makes your day near perfect,
picks you up when you are down or blue,
shows you what really matters in this life

I enjoyed reading this and keep it next to my bed and read a new story every morning!

A big "thank you" Neil Pasricha, great job!

The situations he describes - I say "I know EXACTLY how that feels" It shows how we all share a common humanity

Not really for me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2014

This book is everything it says it is but it wasn't for me. Lots of positive stories and anecdotes but a bit too chatty and lightweight for me. Nothing wrong with the book, it's a matter of personal choice.

There is nothing original in those books. Everybody can do it. I still don't know why I bought them. (Looking for something new and refreshing maybe)!
