Neil Pasricha

Neil Pasricha never imagined that writing about bakery air, hitting a bunch of green lights in a row, or wearing warm underwear just out of the dryer would amount to anything. He started his website 1000 Awesome Things as a small reminder -- in a world of rising sea levels, global conflict, and a troubled economy -- of the free and easy little joys that make life sweet. The site has now won a readership of over 25 million people, won three Webby Awards for "Best Blog", was named one of PC Magazine's Top 100 Sites on the Internet, and has a become a place where people from around the world come to celebrate the simple pleasures of daily life. Neil's first book The Book of Awesome is a #1 International Bestseller and has been published in countries around the world.
