About this listen
From Neil Pasricha - New York Times, million-copy best-selling author of The Book of Awesome series and The Happiness Equation, thought leader for the next generation, and one of the most popular TED speakers in the world - comes a revelatory and inspiring book that will change the way we view failure and help us build resilience.
Why is life getting harder instead of easier?
How do I get back up after life knocks me down?
And how do I grow stronger and live more intentionally?
These are just some of the big life questions Neil tackles in his motivating new book You Are Awesome. And Neil knows what he’s talking about - he’s dealt with many failures and flops throughout his life and, in addition to sharing these intimacies, he also offers simple, research-backed models we can all use to get back up and stay on track.
Resilience is a skill in desperately short supply today. One side effect of living in our era of abundance is that we no longer have the tools to handle failure or even perceived failure. We are turning into an army of porcelain dolls. We no longer bend, we break. When we spill, we splatter. When we crack, we shatter. The New York Times reports that nearly two-thirds of college students report “overwhelming anxiety.” Cell phones show us we’re never good enough. And what about rates of depression, loneliness, and suicide? All rising!
The world is ready for Neil’s new approach to resilience in the form of nine accessible, story-based, science-backed secrets that will help you live stronger and with intention. By taking this journey with Neil as your guide, you’ll learn how to navigate failure, how to positively reframe your own perceptions, and ultimately, how to become your most unbreakable, powerful and awesome self.
Written in Pasricha’s trademark high-energy, takeaway-laden awesome style, this book is for everyone - including fresh grads walking into their first jobs, anyone processing a breakup, people whose industries or careers are quickly getting disrupted, parents wanting to help children be mentally tougher, children wanting to help parents be mentally tougher, and millennials looking for a flashlight to help illuminate the dark path of adulthood.
This book is for anyone who needs to be reminded that every problem is an opportunity, that every dead end has a hidden door, and that every step back is ultimately a step forward.
Pssst.... This book is also a little reminder that YOU ARE AWESOME.

I highly recommend this book
His message makes sense and is grounded. I think this book has helped me think of life a little differently and I will be recommending it to friends and family. I wish this book was longer with additional examples and content. More Neil Pasricha is better than less than less Neil Pasricha.

the worst thing you could do is not get this book.
Being from Toronto, we felt a sense of pride hearing this book by Neil. What an accessible, simple and relatable way to address something we're all going through. we listened on a drive from Ontario to BC and laughed along the way. cannot wait to read more. thanks Neil!

One of the best books
I recently got interested in this book by finding Neil’s podcast which I like a lot so far. I don’t know if it’s because I went through some difficult times recently but this book was great for me. I ordered the actual book after listening to it. I strongly recommend.

Great book by an amazing speaker
Neil Pasricha reall killed it with this book. I've never listened to a book by such an great speaker and it really made all the difference. This book is a great self improvement book that feels more current by incorporating technology into the advice given.
