Little things are extremely important to happiness and Neil Pasricha’s blog 1000 Awesome Things will remind you of a thousand little things from free refills to clean sheets that will make you happier.

Neil never imagined that writing about the smell of gasoline, thinking it’s Thursday when it’s really Friday, or wearing underwear just out of the dryer would amount to anything. A self-described “average guy” with a typical 9-to-5 job in the suburbs, Neil started his blog 1000 Awesome Things, as a small reminder of the free, easy little joys that make life sweet.

He certainly didn’t anticipate that his site would gain a readership of millions of people, win two Webby Awards (“the Internet’s highest honor” according to The New York Times), be named one of PC Magazine’s Top 100 Sites On the Internet, or become a place where people from around the world would come to celebrate the simple pleasures of daily life.

In this heartfelt talk from TEDxToronto, he reveals the 3 secrets (all starting with A) to leading a life that’s truly awesome.

• Wear Sunscreen
• The Holstee Manifesto: This is Your Life.
• Struggle is Nature’s Way of Strengthening
• Will Smith About The Key to Life
• Why We Do What We Do?
