Finding Joy in the Little Things: Michael Stoller on 'The Book of Awesome'
I want to live in a world where I have more deep and intimate conversations with people, where people share something and reveal something about themselves. That's not easy to do, but when people have the courage to do that and risk their embarrassment, risk my judgment of them, I just have so much empathy for them, compassion for them and feel so connected to them.
