The first Book of Awesome in a decade...

returns against a backdrop of algorithm-infused addictions, widening wealth gaps, destabilizing senses of reality, and reductions in privacy and freedoms.

The past two years have brought us to a breaking point. The National Institute of Mental Health reported 13% of people had a depressive symptom before the pandemic—now, it’s up to 43%. And it’s not just depression—anxiety, loneliness, and suicide rates are also skyrocketing.

The Book of Awesome has long been a tool, spending eight years on bestseller lists, and creating an awesome movement with more than 10,000 submissions from people who have used the book to cultivate vital positive mindsets in their companies, schools, and communities.

Our Book of Awesome is an injection of joy, a heartfelt gift, and a smacking high five for humanity. Read and share it to be reminded of the endless AWESOME things that give laughs and smiles to our brief and beautiful lives.

This book is a continuation of Neil’s multi-decade writing on living an intentional life.
