You are awesome : how to navigate change, wrestle with failure, and live an intentional life / Neil Pasricha.

Includes bibliographical references.

In this Neil takes his readers on a self explorative journey asking some very eye opening and soul searching questions. "Why do I feel like my life is getting harder instead of easier? How do I get back up and move forward after life knocks me down? And how do I become more resilient and live a more intentional life? Neil himself is quite familiar with these internal conflicts and life challenges as he has also had to wrestle with failures which forced him to search out ways to cope, move forward, some of which he also shares. Neil identifies resilience as a skill in desperately short supply today. He further went on to point out one of the crippling effects of living in an era of abundance is that we are no longer equipped to handle and process failure or even perceived failure. Likening us to an army of porcelain dolls, he states that we are inflexible, fragile individuals who "no longer bend, we break". This book is geared towards self-empowerment and how to maneuver life challenges seeing every failure or perceived failure as an opportunity to regroup, learn and move forward.
