About this listen
A celebration of ordinary awesomeness, for all of us who were told, "You can do anything!" and then found out we actually can't
Crappy homes, lame love lives, getting passed over for a great job (again) - not what we expected for our adulthoods. Americans tell their children, You can become anything! But let's face it - most of us can't.
Sure, some of our peers go on to become astronauts or billionaires. But most of us don't. In Average Is the New Awesome, Samantha Matt offers encouragement to us regular humans. Full of hilarious stories and insightful advice, this 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.

"Matt's witty book cuts through the misleading 'perfection' promoted in the arts, the media, and in our social media feeds with this empowering, actionable manifesto." (BookRiot)
"Samantha Matt's Average Is the New Awesome has struck a chord with me at exactly the right point in my life. It's clever and relatable - which I guess makes me average. But you know what? After reading Samantha's book, I'm okay with it!" (Charlee Fam, author of Last Train to Babylon)
"Samantha Matt nails the unique concoction of concerns that plague almost all of us - and even better, her wise, witty, warm advice offers practical solutions." (Hannah Orenstein, author of Playing with Matches and Love at First Like)
