About this item

From Neil Pasricha - New York Times, million-copy bestselling 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.We are lucky. For most of us, famine, plague, economic depression, and other life-threatening catastrophes are the stuff of history books. We're living in an era with the highest-ever rates of longevity, education, and wealth. Cars drive us home as our phones entertain us before we arrive to food delivered to the front door. We have it all! But there's just one side effect. We no longer have the tools to handle failure...or even perceived failure. When we fall, we lie on the sidewalk crying. When we spill, we splatter. When we crack, we shatter. We are turning into an army of porcelain dolls. A rude email from the boss means calling in sick. Only two likes on our post means we don't have friends. Cell phones show us we're never good enough. Yesterday's butterflies are tomorrow's panic attacks. Record numbers of students have clinical anxiety. And what about depression, loneliness, and suicide? All rising! What do we desperately need to learn? RESILIENCE. And we need to learn it fast. Read You Are Awesome to learn: * The single word that keeps your options open after failure * What every commencement speech gets wrong * 3 ways to dramatically accelerate your ability to learn and adapt * The 2-minute morning practice that helps eliminate worry * Why you need an Untouchable Day (and how to get one) * and much, much more... Because the truth is, you really are awesome.

Hey Amazon Author Bio Readers, I know you... because I am you! I always read the Amazon Author's Bios. So, me:My name is Neil Pasricha and I think, write, and speak about living intentionally.All of my work focuses under the themes of gratitude, happiness, failure, resilience, and trust. I'm the the author of six books including: THE BOOK OF AWESOME, a spinning rolodex of simple pleasures based on my 100-million-hit, award-winning blog 1000 Awesome Things, THE HAPPINESS EQUATION, originally written as a 300-page love letter to my unborn son on how to live a happy life, AWESOME IS EVERYWHERE, an interactive introduction to guided meditation for children, and YOU ARE AWESOME, my new book about resilience and how we thicken our skin in these thin-skinned times. My books have spent over 200 weeks on New York Times and International bestseller lists and sold over 1,000,000 copies across dozens of languages. I also give over 50 speeches a year at places like TED, SXSW, and Google. My first TED talk "The 3 A's of Awesome" is ranked one of the 10 Most Inspiring of all time and my second is called "How do you maximize your tiny, short life? ", an artistic side-project called the world's first TED Listen, composed entirely of questions. I also host an Apple "Best of 2018" podcast called 3 Books where I am on a 15-year-long mission to uncover and discuss the 1000 most formative books in the world. Each of the 333 chapters unpacks the 3 most formative books of an inspiring individual like Judy Blume, Chris Anderson of TED, the world's greatest Uber driver, or David Sedaris.
