Awesome Things

A few weeks ago my friend told me about this book called 1000 awesome things. Then came the author's book signing the week after in Toronto with an interview with Chapter's CEO Heather Reisman. Pretty cool to see it all in person (http://1000awesomethings.com/).


The book started as a blog in 2008 when the former comedy writer and Harvard MBA decided to cheer up and write a blog about 1000 awesome things. Counting down from 1000 he blogs about ideas of the little awesome things everyone could experience everyday. Then it turned into a multi-million hits blog and then a nifty little book.


As I commute to downtown Toronto to work everyday the hustle and bustle of commuters and tall buildings made me think of what could be more awesome than this?


"Driving down on an unpaved road on the country side with green grass and trees passing by the side on a beautiful sunny day as the sound of the gusting wind echoes into your ears."

Now thats awesome!

  1. That IS awesome! However I might change the mode of transportation to "biking down an unpaved road..." with rest breaks to listen to the gorgeous birds flittering about.
    I bet it didn't sound all that peaceful in Toronto this weekend. It's funny being so far away from something that's happening to people i feel so close too. I hope all was well on your side of the city.
