Coincidentally, I have spent the last few days appreciating what I have, and then I came upon Neil Pasricha’s book, The Book of Awesome. Here is a man who truly recognizes what is awesome in life. Think about it...you are standing five deep in a checkout line, and a new line suddenly opens up...awesome. Nothing is cozier than your warm underwear, straight from the dryer. Passing a police car when you AREN’T speeding is AWESOME.
Pasricha’s book is filled with so many of life’s everyday pleasures. It is difficult to keep from smiling as you turn the pages and relate to most of what he is saying. He talks about things like passing a bunch of green lights in a row and I get it. I always feel like I hit the lottery when I sail by one green light after another. Half way into his book I started making my own list, and that made me smile even more.
The Book of Awesome will not be voted book of the year. It isn’t a literary epic and probably won’t win a Pulitzer Prize, but if you want a few hours of appreciating the world you inhabit, then this might be just the book for you.
