About this deal

Practical, insightful and positive, this is the book to help children build resilience, embrace their mistakes and grow into successful, happy adults. It is motivating, funny and worked very well on audiobook. My son even liked the Queen titles as chapter headings (he's a burgeoning fan!). The style suited a listening format, lots of chat and interactive sections where the listener is asked questions. Syed made an effective narrator as well, a clear speaker and engaging. Este livro vem relembrar-nos desse nosso pequeno lapso de memória (que muitas vezes escolhemos ter) e que podemos ser quem quisermos ou o que quisermos e desenvolvermos as nossas capacidades, quem sabe até um talento! Sendo o autor alguém que começou como medíocre no ténis de mesa e que terminou a representar o Reino Unido por duas vezes em Jogos Olímpicos, o livro está cheio de pequeninas pérolas para levar a algumas mudanças de mindset, de forma a passar-se de uma "mentalidade fixa" a uma "mentalidade de crescimento". Everyone can relate to failure but how we react to it can change our paths entirely and keep us moving forward. Every” misstep” is a chance to assess, learn and then move up and onward. I love the balance of personal stories, accessible writing, and strategies that are approachable for everyone. My 7 year old might be slightly too young for this, but did listen with me and discuss it a little in the car. I was interested to hear if the author could talk to young people on their level about some quite mature issues.

I loves Pasricha’s thoughts on resilience and I couldn’t settle on who this book was best for, my son, my husband or my mother! Neil hits the nail on the head when it comes to adjusting your outlook on your own life and on people and the world around you. He puts a positive spin on what we might typically see as failure, bad news, short end of the straw. Opportunity awaits us around every corner and behind every door. It is just a matter of being able to see the good, be resilient, keep on going, and put yourself in the best situations to encourage success. 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. Got this book for Bill my son, but ended up reading it myself. A book written for kids and young adults, but a nice read for parents as well. It talks about the usual stuff fixed vs growth mindset, see failures as learning opportunities, how to practice and how to break down goals into smaller parts. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s the perfect embodiment of the societal perception of what inspirational means. The book is essentially telling you to never give up, and to keep on practising your hobby, and look! I used to be terrible at table tennis! and I just hate it. Saying that the more you do something the better you become at it isn’t inspirational, it’s stating a fact. What’s inspirational is people overcoming the impossible. People carving out lives for themselves when society, or situation, or whatever seemingly insurmountable obstacle, tries to stop them. Inspirational is Gandalf coming over the hill with the riders of Rohan to win the battle of Helm’s Deep when all hope seemed lost, and yes that is Lord of the Rings but that is literally the most inspirational thing I can think of right now. I’m very tired. If you believe youcan'tdo something, the chances are you won't try. But what if you reallycouldget better at maths, or sport or exams? In fact, what if you could excel at anything you put your mind to?NID cookie, set by Google, is used for advertising purposes; to limit the number of times the user sees an ad, to mute unwanted ads, and to measure the effectiveness of ads. Would you fail your way to success? or remain a failure? There are so many people who fail at reaching success and that’s fine, but what’s not fine is if you don’t get up and keep moving forward. You Are Awesome by Neil Pasricha is filled with life-related stories, tips when hardship approaches, and secrets that Neil learned throughout his life.

You Are Awesome has been translated into a number of languages including Catalan, Spanish, Italian, German and Polish. It was released in The United States and Canada by the publisher Sourcebooks in July 2019. [5] The first chapter describes the authors growing up in Reading and beginings attending the local Table Tennis club and ascent to Olympic champion. The second then moves onto 'mindset' both 'fixed' and 'growth' and how you can trade the former for the latter (desirable if you aspire to be confident). Learn How to Navigate Change, Wrestle With Failure and Live An Intentional Life; Neil Pasricha’s You Are Awesome Provides Solid Advice and Inspiration

Pasricha writes with compassion and proactivity and reminds us that we are all works in progress. Sometimes self-help books can help you feel heard but not really have a plan, or make you feel like you are being talked down to and make you just feel worse. You Are Awesome contains straightforward steps that make you feel less alone but also help you move FORWARD. Encouraging and entertaining child-friendly look at promoting determination, resilience and ambition. I was immediately drawn into You Are Awesome because of how relatable the writing is. Neil Pasricha is charismatic and resilient and the writing is conversational like you are talking with a good friend. Resilence is a skill and often the people that are most resilient aren’t ones that have had the easiest path in life but are the ones that use those bumps in the road to learn and grow. Positively doesn’t mean you don’t have struggles, it means using perspective to take what you can from them and continue on.

But I cannot stress this enough: this book was so helpful to me, and I feel fortunate that it came into my life just when I needed it most. Equal parts reassuring and productive, You Are Awesome allows us to be forgiving and patient toward ourselves while also giving us the tools we need to build self-confidence and finally take that leap toward positive change in our lives. And when all seems lost, always finding a way to add a dot-dot-dot. The story that really stood out to me was the one from his scholarship donor that was apart of the Harvard School of Business, where he told Pasricha "Find small ponds so you can be the big fish." What an interesting perspective; and for a college student wanting a job in a business related field it was something I had never thought about. Of course we want to work for the biggest and best companies, but we are all competing for those jobs, where we wouldn't do much work. Why not take the risk and be the big fish in the small pond and bring a business up from bankruptcy. It's a difficult job but it was interesting advice.

I may be biased. I had to study this in school. I received a copy for my end of primary school leavers gift. The only reason I still own it is for the messages my teachers wrote in it.It can apply to girls interests as well or those sports minded but it didn't hit some more stereotypical feminine pursuits but it gives you the steps to do anything you want. Not just sports, and not just make up and fashion design or baking. (Or whatever Girls are into, I am a girl who into sports and LEGO, so figure that one out"
