You Are Awesome: How to Navigate Change, Wrestle with F…

To keep her mind challenged, she sat on her front porch and memorized the license plates of cars driving by. She was craving mental challenge. So she found a safe space where she could satisfy it silently. But how? How do we really do that? Right as we’re falling, as we’re feeling it, as we’re looking up at the light disappearing above us, how? What is the actual tool we can use to try to put this theory into practice? I couldn’t believe it,” my mom told me. “The school was a heaven on Earth. The grounds were so beautiful. We knew there were schools just for white people. For the rulers. But when I got there everybody was so rich, coming in the best cars with chauffeurs. I was overwhelmed. I was scared. I never imagined I would be allowed to go in. I didn’t feel like I was equal to the other students. I just wanted to go home.”

As my mom describes it, there was this fatalist feeling of closure and finality over everything. “My life was set out,” she’d tell me. “It was decided.” Gender, culture, and traditions all pointed to a well-worn finish line she could see ahead in her future. Her life seemed like a sentence. Something pre-ordained and punishing. I loves Pasricha’s thoughts on resilience and I couldn’t settle on who this book was best for, my son, my husband or my mother! Neil hits the nail on the head when it comes to adjusting your outlook on your own life and on people and the world around you. He puts a positive spin on what we might typically see as failure, bad news, short end of the straw. Opportunity awaits us around every corner and behind every door. It is just a matter of being able to see the good, be resilient, keep on going, and put yourself in the best situations to encourage success. A wise, practical, and approachable book. Neil will fill you with optimism and help you develop the courage to overcome anything. And yes – you'll feel awesome after you read it.” My name is Neil Pasricha (pass-REACH-ah) and I'm the New York Times / #1 int'l (blah blah blah!) bestselling author of ten books on living an intentional life including THE BOOK OF AWESOME (gratitude), THE HAPPINESS EQUATION (happiness), TWO-MINUTE MORNINGS (habits), and the poorly-titled YOU ARE AWESOME (resilience.) My books are published in a lot of languages I can't read and sold a couple million more copies than anyone was expecting.
