I remember getting the Book of Awesome as a gift when I was in middle school, maybe even elementary school. I have it to this day and I've read and reread it to the point that its corners are worn and torn on every other page. It was always my go-to whenever I was feeling down, but recently it's been collecting dust on my shelf for a year or two. I think it's time that I open it up again and remind myself why I love Neil Pasricha so much. I'm so proud of him for having the opportunity to do a Ted talk. The experience must be pretty awesome.

It touches me when people are appreciative of things in life like this, instead of always mistakingly giving credit to some god or another.

Man I love this video so much. It's crazy to me how throughout this whole video that guy didn't shed one tear 🥺. You cold tell that he was trying to hold it back 😣😔

This is by far my favorite Ted Talk. It is so simple yet so profound. Awesome! I want to read/hear everything he has to say. Halfway through I had to go outside and look at the grass and vines and listen to the trees blowing in the beeeze. 👏🏼❤️

I've been fortunate enough to realize most of what Neil said in this talk on my own, but the last point he made always gets to me, to the point of bringing me to tears. We are impermanent, and soon everything and everyone we know and love will be gone.

The most insightful part in this talk is at 16.49 - "You will never be as young as you are right now." Utterly insightful and timeless sentence. Truly inspirational!

This talk was recommended to me by my mom who saw Neil Pasricha live. It comes at a time where I have created a lot of darkness around myself despite there being so much to be thankful for. Thank you for opening my eyes to the 3A's

People who hit the thumbs down on this video must be the people who need this message the most.

I LOVE IT! And I will add that 12:27 Gratitude doesn't start with "A" or it would be the fourth A of awesome.

So touching and so true, the takeaway is that awesomeness is every where just embrase it. If your inside heart is not tickling, happy and satisfied about here and now then, you'll never be. And when bad things happen, just take your courage in both hands and "face the future with new sober eyes"

This TED Talk is almost 10 years old and still one of the greatest TED Talks of all time. It’s warm, funny, honest and inspiring. Neil, you are a true delight. I would have been beaming with pride if I were your parents, and I thought it was so beautiful the way you took the time to honour them. Whenever someone asks for TED Talk recommendations, yours is always first on my list. ❤️

This is Awesome! I remember my daughter's middle school teacher-Mr. Hanks- always had his kids create their own Book of Awesome based on Neil's.

Found this video, it seems, when I needed to hear Neil's message and was willing to take it in. What an awesome way to view life and to live it, eff this feeling of sadness and self imposed gloom...its Friday and the new awesome journey starts today.
