SPOS #875 – Neil Pasricha On Why Everything Is Awesome

Welcome to episode #875 of Six Pixels of Separation – The ThinkersOne Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation – The ThinkersOne Podcast – Episode #875. My dear friend, Neil Pasricha, is a world-renowned content creator, speaker, and author. He focuses on intentional living, and his work revolves around themes like gratitude, happiness, failure, resilience, connection, and trust. With ten books and journals under his name, Neil has sold over two million copies across dozens of languages, making him a New York Times and #1 international bestseller. His is most known for The Book of Awesome, a rolodex of simple pleasures that came from his award-winning blog. His book, The Happiness Equation, started as a 300-page love letter to his unborn son on how to live a happy life. Neil also wrote, Awesome Is Everywhere, an interactive introduction to guided meditation for children, a daily morning practice, and, You Are Awesome, a nine-step guide to building resilience through stories and research. Neil is also a sought-after keynote speaker. Neil also hosts one of my favorite podcasts, 3 Books, which features interviews with inspiring people like Brené Brown, David Sedaris, Malcolm Gladwell, Roxane Gay, and many more. In each chapter (or episode), the guest shares their three most formative books, making it an epic 15-year-long quest to uncover the 1000 most formative books in the world. Neil’s work is a testament to intentional living, inspiring people to find joy, happiness, and resilience in their daily lives. His unique approach to content creation and storytelling has made him a world-class creator and a beacon of inspiration for many. Most recently, he published, Our Book of Awesome, which he describes as, “an injection of joy, a heartfelt gift, and a smacking high five for humanity. Read it to be reminded of the endless awesome things that give laughter and happiness to our brief and beautiful lives.” Enjoy the conversation…
