It's true that in a time of turning to a news channel and hearing about how the 13th homicide has occurred already (thank you, January 15th of 2011) and reading about disastrous weather wreaking havoc in third world countries, it's important to take a step back and think of all of the good things in the world. The awesome things that make every day just a little bit brighter.

This book is a quick, light-hearted read that attempts to convey a number of fun and/or interesting things that make you smile. Though I agreed with many of the "awesome" topics covered in the book, I felt the list belonged better as a series of tweets, facebook posts, or blog entries than an actual book. When I later learned that the author actually maintains a just such a blog, I felt I had been somewhat cheated. I honestly can't justify the list price, let alone the $13 discounted

Neil has done it again! His Book of Even More Awesome delivers the same wit, charm, perspective, laughter and heartfelt warm-fuzzies that the first one did...and then some. You absolutely cannot go wrong by buying this book for yourself or as a gift for someone else. I can't help but smile when I read his work -- The Book of Even More Awesome had me grinning from ear-to-ear with the turn of every page. Buy it and delight in the amazing, uplifting and optimistic collection of even MORE awesome th

the "awesome" things in this book that i like best, by far, are the ones where the author tells a personal story about why they're awesome to him. the story about his 3rd grade teacher and their e-mail exchange years later was so great! even if you don't also have "that one teacher" in your past, that story had to make you smile. and the one about his friend, "the feisty little nibbler," who ate the tips of all the pieces of pie - that cracked me up. i would pre

Just when you think you’ve had enough awesome things, there comes even more awesome things! I absolutely loved the first book by Neil Pasricha, The Book of Awesome, so there was no question when The Book of (Even More) Awesome came out that I would get my hands on it.
The premise of the Awesome books is simple – it’s a list of the awesome things in our lives that a lot of people take for granted. Like stepping on that puddle with a thin layer of ice on top, or puppy breath, or maybe g More...

it was ok (hence my two star review).
it's a fun book to read in a car (or something) because it's short and easy but I just could not sit and read this in my room. what I like about it is that we all have so much in common (in determining what's "awesome") than we think. practically everything he wrote about were things that make me happy too. but let's be honest, just reading the title was enough for me and that is exactly what I did.

This book made me smile - something I needed to do because of the last two weeks. It was easy to read, and one of the benefits was the ease of being able to pick it up and put it down whenever I needed to go off and do something.
Neil Pasricha reminded me that I need to stop and take pleasure in the simple things of life. There are so many wonderful things around me, and I need to acknowledge them.
AWESOME!

I didn't read many of the stories behind the headings...usually I had my own thoughts/memories about the situation. But it really made me stop to think about what tiny things in life, if I stop long enough to notice them, truly make life sweeter. I wrote down some of my own things that are "awesome" to me.

Makes you smile to read it. I was trying to read all the paragraphs in the book but just reading the next awesome event or whatever was enough or me. His "deja vu" was clever. We need to slow down and appreciate everything.

This is a good book when you are feeling a bit blue but it isn't something you are likely to read from cover to cover in a single sitting. This is a good book for a gift to graduates or someone going thru a bit of a rough patch.

As much as I think the word awesome is SO overused these days - love the book! I've given it to my 12 year old daughter to read because its all about appreciating the little, everyday things.

The only thing I like about snow (esp. driving in snow) is when I get the chance to kick the big snow clumps off of the mud flaps of the car.
I'm so happy someone else thinks it is as awesome as I do.

It taught me how to be thankful for small things in life without being all PREACHY like "BE HAPPY YOU ARE NOT STARVING! BE HAPPY YOU HAVE MONEY!" It taught me in a funny way.

Just like the first book ("The Book of Awesome") this one serves as a gentle and hilarious reminder of the finer things in life, the things we often overlook in our daily occurrences. I had great giggles in bed while reading this, and remembering awesome things of my childhood like my grandma's junk drawer (of which I have carried on the tradition and now have), road trips, and riding on my dad's shoulders. Overall, another AWESOME read that I'd recommend to anybody - especially if you

I totally love 1000 Awesome Things and "The Book of Awesome," and this second book didn't fall short of my high expectations. However, I think I liked the second "Book of Awesome" slightly less than the first because it seemed more cheesy at parts. I think a little cheese fits with the style of this book and I'm okay with that, but there's a line. Still, I loved this volume. Over and over I found myself thinking, "Oh yeah, I love that!"

I haven't read the first book, but this one caught my eye as I wandered the library last month. Who couldn't use a little awesome in their lives? As someone who really relishes the little things in life, I found myself smiling quite often at the creative and clever passages presented in this collection.

Like the title said . . . this book is Even More Awesome than its predecessor . . . well, maybe not MORE awesome . . . but equally awesome for sure. I think these books need to be on everyone's bookshelves . . . as does Pashricha's website (1000awesomethings.com) If you EVER need a quick pick-me-up . . . reading even ONE of the things in the book or on the website is just the answer . . . I'm so very glad that my mother-in-law recommended the book and the website to me last year . . . because it
