1000 Awesome Things is just a time-ticking countdown of 1000 awesome things. Launched June, 2008 and updated every weekday. Full story here.
Also, I share the inspiration this site in this TED Talk:

Some thoughts and reviews from around the horn:
“1000 Awesome Things might be described as optimism for the rest of us. Sunny without being saccharine, it’s a countdown of life’s little joys that reads like a snappy Jerry Seinfeld monologue by way of Maria Von Trapp.” – The Vancouver Sun
“Neil Pasricha is the guru of small joys.” – The Toronto Star
“None of what Pasricha shares is philosophical or heady. Similarly, his style is not a pontification on a single universal truth on how to live a more positive life, regardless of one’s personal circumstances. It’s absent of prescriptions that assume only changing the way we think will result in better outcomes. He merely brings to life — and reminds us about — the small occasions that will likely have you saying to yourself, “yes, that is so right. Why didn’t I think of that?” Pasricha doesn’t mandate a way to live well. In many simple ways, he just reminds us that we already do.” – The Huffington Post
“Pasricha finds fun in frustrations, going from grit to wit.” – Publisher’s Weekly
“Strangely heartwarming… perfect for rainy days.” – The New Yorker
“Laugh-out-loud funny, tinged with just enough sarcastic nostalgia…” – Wired.com
“Honors the little joys of life.” – USA Today
“Consumer angst has turned western civilization into a morass of grumpy old men moaning about shoddy battery life of iPhones or the annoying omnipresence of accident claims adverts when you just want to watch a daytime quiz show. So sometimes, it’s nice to remind yourself of life’s sweeter side and the pleasures to be had from the small things — like peeling the thin plastic film off new electronic gadgets or sneaking your own cheap snacks into the cinemas. 1000 Awesome Things deserves its recent Webby Award; life really is awesome after all.” – The Guardian
“1000 Awesome Things is the #1 awesome website.” – Frank Warren, PostSecret
“Laugh out loud. You feel like you’ve thought of these things a thousand times but just haven’t stopped to write them down.” – BBC South America
“A lovingly beautiful blog. It’s like being a three- or four-year-old and looking at the world for the first time again. Read it and you’ll feel good about being human.” – Jim Hedger, Host of Webcology, Webmaster radio
“Unrelentingly optimistic without being sappy. It’s less about awesome things than it is about seeing the awesomeness of the everyday.” – The Toronto Star
“Cool Site of the Day!” – The Kim Komando Show, #1 Weekend Talk Radio Show in the US
“One of the Top 100 Blogs of 2010.” – PC Mag
“One of the Top 100 Web sites of 2009.” – PC Mag
“One of the Top 50 Blogs of 2009.” – PC Mag
“Given the hectic nature of our lives, it’s easy to overlook the little things that make it all worthwhile. Thank goodness we’ve got this new site to remind us of life’s small pleasures. They’re just getting started with the list but we’ve already identified a few favorites including that pile of assorted beers left in your fridge after a party, locking people out of the car and pretending to drive away, and finding money you didn’t even know you lost. – The Record (San Joaquin County Daily Newspaper)
“A simple but brilliant idea.” – Fox News
“… the most optimistic, sunny blog online. You have to test your cynicism against this affirmation of all things and see if you can actually handle it.” – CBC Radio
“Sleeping in your own bed after a long trip, being able to carry all the groceries from the car in one swoop, that miracle of science when the amount of toilet paper left on the toll is the exact amount you need – these are just some of the quietly awesome things in life at 1000 Awesome Things.” – Mental Floss
“Best of 2009.” – All My Faves
“1000 Awesome Things should put itself on the list of 1000 Awesome Things. I’d hit it.” – Cheezburger Ben Huh, I Can Has Cheezburger? & FAIL Blog
“1000 Awesome Things is where the modern world stops to smell the roses.” – Ben Mercer, CFRB 1010
“Reading your blog always brings a smile to my face & I feel like I am talking to you.” – Email from author’s mother, January 12, 2009
“One of the best Pop Culture Blogs on the Internet.” – Make Five, “The Best Pop Culture Blogs”
“1000 Awesome Things is a case study on how to create an amazing contribution to the blogosphere. ” – Wikinomics, “How to build an amazing blog”
“1000 Awesome Things is absolute, pure joy.” – Q107, Calgary, Alberta, “The Terri and Patti Show”
“There’s something riveting about 1000 Awesome Things that makes you want to keep coming back. Aside from the great humor, it reminds you of the little things in life, and how awesome they can be.” – Zen Habits, Leo Babauta
“Internet humor is basically pissing all over things just for the sake of pissing on them, even if they don’t particularly deserve it. Fake outrage gets a little wearisome. 1000 Awesome Things, on the other hand, is taking the road less traveled and showing that loving things can be just as funny as hating them.” – Man vs. Clown!, Peter Lynn

This is beautiful, makes you appreciate the little things!
Take a shower
Seems to be unusual.
Tired one day, finally coming to the five, take a hot bath. Oh, by the way rushed to this day tired and weary.
May at this moment is the most relaxing moment, if can also be putting a song you like, you happy to imagine what to eat for dinner, what to wear will be more take you just buy a new bag tomorrow, what a wonderful moment! But at the moment you suddenly feel what slipped into your ear, is take a shower water, how is not careful, the worst thing is what you can’t hear, the whole world seems cut off from your care, have to squat, slanted your head and hope that it will come out, but a few minutes later still not successful, well, I have to admit that out of your mind, you can stand up to give up the moment, it is streaming out of their own, the world suddenly bright, the mood is really good ah.
Standing in the bathroom, you be overcome by one’s feelings of laugh their own ignorance, and his joy suddenly found a significant discovery.
Feel good!
Hello, Neal, I bought your book “the good things in life are free” book, I like it very much, it makes me sad mood good many, like you said, there are plenty of fun things, but we do not find, so I also write a piece of their own first-hand experience of things, I hope you will see.

Great simple uplifting concept, saw Neil on TED talks – inspiring
not preparing for the test next day and watching your favourite episode of ‘friends’ when your phone vibrates and you get a text on whatsapp on your class group that the test is cancelled. it feels awesome and you feel like a ‘boss’ visualizing how everybody would have been crazily preparing for it while you were enjoying and how you would have loved to see their disappointed faces!
I am a reader of your blog/site. You should add blankchats to your
posts. It would really add a new level of engagement and interactivity
to your articles. (linked below is an example)
Kind Regards,

sorry for the double post! didn’t realize!
You make my day!
Having the hiccups bad…and then as you go about what ever you are doing…time passes and then you realize “they are gone”….awesome!
After having a non awesome January with getting sick dropping boiling soup stock on my foot, sitting in someones spilled coffee, and having my credit card number stolen. I decided that February will be awesome, so I hope I did not annoy too many people with saying awesome after every word, like I stubbed my toe, that awesome, I am awesomely under the weather. At least I am happier now keeping in an awesome mind set, and then I remember I had your Book of Awesome half read on my iphone, so I read it, and then the sequel, and now hope to keep March as awesome as before, and here is to January the not so Awesome Monday of the Year…
Recently, I watched your Ted Talk and, oh my, it was undeniably a fantastic decision. <3 This website is absolutely beautiful, and I've linked it to my optimistic, positivity-loving best friend, and am avidly looking forward to future posts. You are a fantastic speaker, by the way, and extremely genuine in your mannerisms –thank you for inspiring me. :)
