本来，尼尔•帕斯理查是加拿大一个生活普通到有点无聊的朝九晚五的白领，经受过两次婚姻破灭，最好的朋友跳楼自杀，每天回家后对着空洞的房子看电视新闻里播放让人绝望的消息……

可是忽然有一天，他开始觉得生活应该不只是这幅模样。于是，他开始撰写 “1000awesomethings.com”的博客，而这个博客在短短的时间内就影响了越来越多的人，甚至还获得了有互联网奥斯卡之称的威比奖（The Webby Awards）。全世界上百万人加入了博客的讨论中。而尼尔也将这些美妙的小事记录整理成书。

每一件小事都是类似“啤酒+朋友”的灵感，生活中的美好简直信手拈来。

“通过专注于生活中积极的一面,我在最低谷的时候迎来了人生的高峰。”

目前，这本书已经出了它第二册《更多的美妙事情大全》，而尼尔的博客里那些来自全世界所有人们记录下来的美妙时刻还在不断扩大。这一连串美妙的事情还在不断继续，不断扩大。生活中的美好，永远都取之不竭。

尼尔的这本书首次引进中国，带着世界的幸福行动，来感染你的生活。

Based on the award-winning 10-million-plus-hit blog 1000awesomethings.com, The Book of Awesome is a high five for humanity and a big celebration of life's little moments:

• Popping Bubble Wrap

• Wearing underwear just out of the dryer

• Fixing electronics by smacking them

• Getting called up to the dinner buffet first at a wedding

• Watching The Price Is Right when you're home sick

• Hitting a bunch of green lights in a row

• Waking up and realizing it's Saturday

Sometimes it's easy to forget the things that make us smile. With a 24/7 news cycle reporting that the polar ice caps are melting, hurricanes are swirling in the seas, wars are heating up around the world, and the job market is in a deep freeze, it's tempting to feel that the world is falling apart. But awesome things are all around us-sometimes we just need someone to point them out.

The Book of Awesome reminds us that the best things in life are free (yes, your grandma was right). With laugh-out-loud observations from award- winning comedy writer Neil Pasricha, The Book of Awesome is filled with smile-inducing moments on every page that make you feel like a kid looking at the world for the first time. Read it and you'll remember all the things there are to feel good about.
