Chicken Soup for the Soul

Product Details

Two of America's best-loved inspirational speakers share the best of their stories, tales that have touched the hearts of people everywhere. Canfield and Hansen bring you wit and wisdom, hope and empowerment to buoy you up through life's dark moments.





It's like homemade chicken soup that warms the chill and heals the ill. This collection of 101 stories is based on the belief that true testimonies of goodness and loving transformations can nourish us to the bone and heal the cynicism in our hearts. Indeed, most every story seeps in deeply. It's hard not to shed a tear of gratitude, feeling thrilled to have been touched and soothed so easily. Some of the authors are famous, such as Dan Millman, who writes an exquisite vignette on "Courage," and Gloria Steinem, who writes of "The Royal Knights of Harlem." Many, however, have a short, simple story to tell about an event, a person, an everyday miracle that exemplifies the best of the human spirit. --Gail Hudson

Stories You Wish Your Parents Told You - Ramon Thomas - Johannesburg, South Africa
As I write this review, I realise how much I miss having grandparents. My grandmother especially took time to tell me stories from far away lands. And I have to agree with my best friend Roland, that books are the nearest thing to listening to an older person telling you a good story. And in the original Chicken Soup for the Soul book I have found master story tellers. Not every story was amazing, some of them appealed to me when they were the story of a father or son, and some even brought me close to tears. As I have gone from bad to worse in my life in the last 2 years I feel the need to read more uplifting stories. As I find myself so close to giving up, I need to replenish the hope in in my life. And more than anything else I need faith. Chicken Soup for the Soul is a book for those who need faith more than anything else.
