Well, who doesn't love this title? I found the writing to be witty and the vignettes very inspiring. I'd like to have this book around on a bad day, but thankfully, it started out as a web site that can be accessed any time: http://1000awesomethings.com/

Checking there today gave me the gift of the French translation, La Vie Est Cool (which made me LOL). http://1000awesomethings.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/la-vie-est-cool2.jpg
