The Book of Awesome

Article • Apr 08, 2015

The Book of Awesome

If gratitude is about appreciating the small things, the author of “The Book of Awesome” is the most grateful person ever.

Reading, Social Emotional Health

Simply put: this book is awesome. It is full of all those tiny things in life that are rarely celebrated, but definitely should be. Some examples:

 

Popping bubble wrap

 

When you’re really tired and about to fall asleep and someone throws a blanket on you

 

Blowing out all the candles on your first try

 

Dangling your feet in water

 

Celebrating your pet’s birthday even though they have no idea what’s going on

 

Gratitude is all about taking a moment to recognize the small things. We think the author of this book sounds like the most grateful person ever. We could all use this moment to remember to appreciate the small things in life. You might pick up “The Book of Awesome” and read a couple of pages a day. Maybe you could even start your own book of awesome. What tiny things can you appreciate today?
