A unique collection of the inspiring “little things”
that no one should ever forget.
Three years ago, a man sat in a taxi, stuck in traffic, and listened while his
grouchy cab driver complained about life. Every aspect of life. After thirty
minutes or so, the man took out a sticky note and a pen, and scribbled
the words “Never give up.” He left it on the seat of the cab for the next
passenger. And that was the start of Things We Forget.
Every day since then, J.J. Penn has written a simple yet inspiring reminder
on a sticky note and anonymously posted it somewhere in public—on
a park bench, at a bus stop—with the intent of spreading a little hope
and brightening someone’s day. Now, in this upbeat and inspiring book,
readers can experience the little notes that have captivated so many
people all around the world.
