"I was trying to remind myself of those simple, universal little pleasures, that we all love but we just don't talk about enough." Neil Pasricha reveals three secrets to leading a fruitful life that led him to write a best-selling novel and the best blog in the world, encouraging his audience to embrace their inner three-year-old and savor the simplest things. This is an excellent resource for a rainy day or perhaps for a substitute to show, and is applicable to viewers young and old alike. You can also try having your class compile a group list of their own "awesome" things that can be updated throughout the year. As Pasricha declares, "You will never be as young as you are right now."
