So in general when it comes to writing, I love being in this imaginative space and taking up the challenge of expressing what I find there to different types of readers. There are just so many different types of people out there who in one way or another connect with the idea of being awesome but we're not all going to connect in the same way. For a book like ("On Being Awesome"), there's a certain pleasure in thinking about how you write about something for a very wide and textured audience. Each puts very different demands on my imagination and time. On Being Awesome: A Unified Theory of How Not to Suck Audible Audiobook Unabridged Nick Riggle (Author, Narrator), Penguin Audio (Publisher) 55 ratings See all formats and editions Kindle 5. It depends on what project I'm working on, whether it's a philosophy paper for an academic journal or the novel I've been writing for years. The book is part how-to, part ethics deep-dive, and wholly original. Those who suck? They're the ones who close the door on social openings. He explores the emergence of "cool" in the 1930s, the cultural transformations of the 1960s, and the history of the High Five as he argues that awesome people are those who create the "social openings" that foster connection and community in our increasingly individualistic culture. His new book - "On Being Awesome: A Unified Theory of How Not to Suck" - feels like it has a foot in both worlds. Nick Riggle is a 36-year-old former X Games skater who now teaches philosophy at the University of San Diego.
