Simon & Schuster Our Book of Awesome: A Celebration of the Small Joys That Bring Us Together

We need more moments of awesome, and this book helps us to recognize there are more blessings than we sometimes notice! I pre-ordered several as gifts to spread feel good cheer. I love that some of the moments come with comments from fellow readers too, more moments of awesome shared across the community. Love the concept and the books, thanks Neil for another awesome publication!

Diving into this book like was wrapping yourself in a warm blanket! I’ve been a long time reader of the Awesome series dating back to the early blog days - and it was like the feeling of returning home getting to open the front cover of this one and start flipping through the Awesome things, one by one.There is something both satisfying and addictive reading these - they are all so relatable (remembering the attachment right before sending the e-mail! Flipping over your grilled cheese to see it’s perfectly cooked on the other side!), but also addictive… there have been so many times I was ready to stop reading and told myself “ok, just one more…” at least a dozen times in row!And a fun new addition to this Awesome book is the community aspect - some entries include hilarious comments from readers of the Awesome community adding in their own anecdotes or funny asides. It really makes it feel like you’re reading along with a bunch of friends.A must buy for anyone looking for a reason to smile, or wants to share those smiles and warm wishes with the people they love in their life!

The best book of its genre I have ever read! Saw Neil speaking and the book is just ad invredible. Recommend it

When I first heard about Neil Pasricha’s "Our Book of Awesome," I thought, isn’t “awesome” an overused word? After reading the book, I concluded that repeated use of “awesome” can be justified by its vast range of applicability. Pasricha has a gift of appreciating phenomena that many fail to notice, but for those who are perceptive and reflective, provide an endless succession of uplifts to their days. Why is this book — his effort to spread the word — titled “Our” Book of Awesome? For me, it’s because of the uncanny similarity of so many things that Pasricha finds awesome that I do too. The great virtue of Our Book of Awesome is that reading it attunes you to countless wondrous things that many people are oblivious to. You can appreciate life better, and feel better, when you’re receptive to the little delights that await you, one of which is the chance to read this book.

The pandemic was a dark time for many people, and yet Neil’s postings of awesome things were a bright note every day. As I read this book, it lifted my spirits to see that I recognized countless awesome things from my own life. What I love about this book is that Neil included contributions from his readers. This book will make a wonderful Christmas gift, so much so that I’ve bought four copies. This is a book that you can read again and again., and makes an awesome contribution to Neil’s works.
