Book Summary

 This week's book is  "Our Book Of Awesome" by Neil Pasricha

A BOOK FULL OF GOOD VIBES :)

Often in our lives, we ignore small moments, that bring us joy. We tend to overlook the awesome things that happen around us. These small moments bring joy and happiness to our lives, only if we take the time to see them.

Our Book of Awesome is a collection of such small moments of joy that we encounter almost every day but don't celebrate them.

A nice, easy read that will lift your spirit and inject some positivity and good vibes, and will let to enjoy those small joyful moments that go unnoticed sometimes.

Here are 6 awesome moments that will make you smile

1. When your friend returns your book and they actually read it - It gives immense happiness when a book you recommended to your friend and they tell you that they loved the book. We get a sense of happiness and began to talk about that book. It's an awesome feeling.

2. Driving down an old road with trees that touch and form a canopy over everything- You must have seen that amazing view when you are going down an old road and all the tall trees on both sides spread their arms to join each other and form a canopy. That feeling of passing through that natural tunnel and feeling the energy of nature is so awesome.

3. When you cook something new and everyone likes it- When you try and cook something new, you are worried about how will the people who are going to taste it will react. and to your surprise, everyone loves it. I still remember when I made breakfast for my family, I was a little skeptical about the taste, but in reality my family loved it. That was really Awesome.

4. Seeing the delivery truck coming and wondering if the cardboard box will land on your porch- Whenever I've ordered something online and know it's coming. I'm excited when I see the delivery man pulling up in the middle of the street and starts taking out parcels. If it's for neighbors, the anticipation keeps on building, and if it's for me..... then it's awesome.

5. Finishing your last exam and starting summer vacation- I still remember that feeling of joy when you know that today is the final exam and then we have a vacation. We used to do a small party to enjoy the end of exams too. That was really awesome.

6. Twisting the lid off the jar after nobody else could- Twisting a lid off the jar after nobody else could fills you with pride. You suddenly start feeling like a Hero, like Wonder Woman, beaming with a big smile as you hand back the jar. Awesome feeling
