Samantha Matt presents AVERAGE IS THE NEW AWESOME at Brookline Booksmith Used Book Cellar

A celebration of ordinary awesomeness, for all of us who were told “You can do anything!” and then found out we actually can’t.

Full of hilarious stories and insightful advice, Average is the New Awesome is a manifesto for ordinary awesomeness–for the beauty that can be found when we acknowledge that good enough really is good enough, and that greatness is ours to define.
