You Are Awesome is more than a boost for your self-esteem, it’s a perspective-setter for failure and success, and an homage to the amazing reserves of the human soul.” —Mitch Albom, author of Finding Chika and The Five People You Meet In Heaven“No one knows 'awesome' like Neil Pasricha, and here he explores how we can make our very lives more awesome. With real-life stories and a conversational style, he shows how we can move forward in the face of challenge to make our days more intentional and joyful.” —Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project and Outer Order, Inner Calm"Neil was an incredibly quiet, shy, and curious student in my classroom over thirty years ago. I have long retired from teaching and am now watching as he becomes the teacher for me and many others. This is a guidebook for those establishing careers and raising families. But it's also for those of us in later years facing a whole new set of challenges.

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.
An entertaining and inspiring read to help you bounce back and keep growing Resilience is a vital skill. It’s crucial to our health, happiness, and leadership. Resilience is a muscle that we can strengthen – ideally before we really need it. Positive psychology research and best practices show that we can build resilience strengths or habits for Post-Traumatic Growth.Since I enjoyed and reviewed Neil’s previous book, The Happiness Equation, he sent me an advance copy of his new book, You Are Awesome: How to Navigate Change, Wrestle with Failure, and Live an Intentional Life (November publication).You Are Awesome centers on nine key factors. He calls them “secrets,” but these approaches are well-known and researched. Here are a few key points that stood out for me:- We tend to catastrophize the size of our problems and lose perspective on where they fit in our lives.- We incorrectly think it’s all about me. Others aren’t shining a spotlight on everything we do. People focus on themselves, not us.- We often see our future as a continuation of the way things are now. When times are tough, it’s very hard to see the steps that will take us to better times. When we look back, we can see how those tough times or failures took us to a better place. This helps build our resilience.- Social and mainstream media companies use fear to get our attention by bombarding us with negative headlines (truly fake news). We need to be more intentional with our attention and buffer all that destructive static and deadly noise.- The stories we’re telling ourselves to interpret our experiences often skew toward what’s wrong rather than what’s right with us and the world. We can rewrite our stories to keep reminding ourselves just how good we have it.- Neil uses three questions to tell himself a different story: 1- Will this matter on my deathbed? 2- Can I do something about this? 3- Is this a story I’m telling myself? - Our vision or ambition should exceed our current abilities. We should stretch our imagination to picture where we want to get better or what we want to change. We then fail our way to success by learning and growing to make it happen. - Lose more to win more. We often don’t realize how many failures people have worked through to become successful. Moving through failure is the key to resilience and success. - We need to counter multi-tasking with blocking out significant time to focus on single tasks that are most important to us. - Restrict your choices, keep decisions simple, and don’t overthink or second guess yourself.Neil blends an intimate personal and family biography, with research, practical how-to applications, breezy humor, and clever turns of phrase (“Resilience is being able to see that tiny little sliver of light between the door and the frame just after you hear the latch click”). What sets this book apart from over 10,000 books on resilience listed at Amazon is Neil’s highly engaging writing style.An entertaining and inspiring read to help you bounce back and keep growing – especially during tough times. You Are Awesome brings alive the axiom that tough times don’t last, but tough people do.What Makes "You Are Awesome" Awesome ... This is a long review, so apologies for the length. But I want to include substance for this review and not just say “great book, read it.”I have read most, if not all, of Neil Pasricha’s books so I was excited when I received a copy of "You Are Awesome: How to Navigate Change, Wrestle with Failure and Live an Intentional Life." How does his most recent book compare to his other books? I think it may be the best!What makes it the best? It’s not the “You Are Awesome” part of the title but rather it is the 9 Secrets that make up the heart of the book and address navigating change, dealing with failure, and living an intentional life that makes the book “awesome.” And here are a few of my thoughts.I write notes in the back of books and my first note is from the introduction. Mr. Pasricha (I’ll call him Neil from here on out; it’s easier than typing “Mr. Pasricha”) shares a Taoist fable about the farmer with one horse. The message: whatever happens in life only serves to help us see where we are and DECIDE which way to go next!This book provides not just “pie in the sky” suggestions related “getting stronger” and being “intentional” but provides straightforward methods and tips. I love all nine “secrets” but want to share just a few of my favorites.Secret #4: “Tell Yourself a Different Story.” I spent 25 (or so) years in the independent practice of clinical psychology before transitioning to the corporate world in 2003. My “therapeutic orientation” (which really just means how I approached helping people change and overcome problems) was cognitive-behavior therapy or what we think and do is largely determined by how we think. Neil takes research and information and presents it in a way that the reader can immediately apply methods to change the stories that are not helping to ones that help (and this isn’t some “just think positively” stuff but rather proven approaches).Secret #5: “Lose More to Win More.” The corporate world I live in embraces “quality driven management” and one of the principles of this is: “View failures as opportunities.” Often people are afraid of possibly failing so they avoid opportunities that can result in growth and yes, even success! And, this section, like all, provide specific steps to help navigate failures.Secret #6: “Reveal to Heal.” Oh, and to save words and Amazon Reviews bandwidth, this will be last “secret” that I address. Looking back on my years of clinical psychology practice, I believe Neil captured one of the key “curative factors” of psychotherapy/counseling: an environment in which people can comfortably reveal while knowing that what they reveal is protected by confidentiality and in many cases privileged communication. While I encourage people to take advantage of psychotherapy if needed, Neil offers a two-minute morning practice that I suspect many will find extremely beneficial.What are some of the other components of You Are Awesome that makes this book worthy of my 5-Star review? First, Neil supports what he presents with hard research and data! Too many books present opinions without data. Second, his writing style makes reading, enjoying, AND comprehending so easy. I am not a fast reader yet I could carve some time over two weekends and read the entire book in 4 to 5 hours. Third, I really appreciated how he relates his content to other factual information such as humans cannot multitask when it comes to higher order processing, we need to be focused on our one thing and find that “lead domino” that can drive success (page 205), making connections with others, etc. Fourth, “business agility” is popular topic these days and much of such agility has to do with navigating change. Neil’s book provides so much that will help individuals demonstrate more such agility in the business world. There are more but it’s almost time for lunch and I’m getting hungry. Plus, I know you will find your own “take aways” when you read it that will make the book valuable for you.So now I’ll say it, “great book, read it!”Ed Nottingham, PhD, PCCConsulting & Clinical PsychologistAuthor, “It’s Not as Bad as It Seems: A Thinking Straight Approach to Happiness
