\"the<\/a>Is winter getting you down? Do you find yourself curling into blankets and wanting to hide from the outside world? I admit winter is not my favorite time of year, so when I stumbled upon\u00a0The Book of Awesome: Snow Days, Bakery Air, Finding Money in Your Pocket, and Other Simple, Brilliant Things<\/a>,<\/strong><\/em> I knew I had found my much needed winter pick-me-up. Pasricha, the author of 1000awesomethings.com<\/a>, developed this book as a way for him to find the good things\u00a0that surrounded his boring\u00a09-to-5 job. Follow along as he describes\u00a0those simple pleasures and little moments\u00a0that have just enough\u00a0power to make us happy\u00a0: sleeping in new sheets, fixing electronics by smacking them, pushing the elevator button and discovering\u00a0it’s already there, the smell and sounds of a campfire, popping bubblewrap, the day you first realize you can drive, etc. Each good thing brings out warm and funny observations from the author describing just why those pleasures or unexpected moments are AWESOME! Who knows, maybe you’ll be able to relate to Pasricha’s moment of joy\u00a0when a cashier opens up a new checkout line at the grocery store, when all your socks match up from the dryer perfectly, and when someone offers to throw your dirty laundry in a load with their own, thus saving you from having to leave the couch! Join Pasricha as he finds all the good in the little moments that surround him.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in this book or even want to know more, you’re in luck! Pasricha has also published The Book of (Even More) Awesome<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and The Book of (Holiday) Awesome<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
