Searching for a light, funny, feel-good read that physically makes you nod in agreement? Then look no further than The Book of Awesome. Neil Pasricha has gotten a lot of press for being one of those blogger-turned-author success stories (1000awesomethings.com) but the recognition is well-deserved.
Tired of reading headlines about melting ice caps, world wars and a crashing economy, Pasricha compiled a list of everyday awesome experiences that he describes in a comical, relatable style. Granted, some of the mini-chapters border on the lame and/or cheesy (When you didn't play the lottery and your numbers didn't come up, Rain hair, The smell of gasoline) but others are true gems - things you never think about but, when they're pointed out, make you exclaim, "yeah, that IS awesome!" A few personal favourites:
* Laughing so hard you make no sound at all
* Remembering what movie that guy is from
* Multitasking while brushing your teeth (I thought I was the only one who did this!)
* The parking lot pull-through
* Transferring the laundry from washer to dryer without dropping anything (is this even possible?)
* Squeezing through a door as it's shutting without touching it
