    About The Book of Awesome

    Based on the award-winning 10-million-plus-hit blog 1000 Awesome Things, The Book of Awesome is an international bestselling 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 on every page that make you feel like a kid looking at the world for the first time. Read it and you’ll remember all the things there are to feel good about.
