Chicken Soup for the Soul (20th Anniversary Edition)
by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Amy Newmark
Publisher: Chicken Soup for the Soul (June 2013)
387 pages, eBook (purchased myself for $7.99)
Book Rating: 4 Stars
This is a book full of inspirational stories, centering for the most part on keeping or developing a positive attitude, perseverance and paying it forward. This book contains all the stories from the original publication, plus 20 “bonus” stories. Each story is around 2-5 pages in length, and I think they are best consumed one or two at a time, instead of all in one sitting. It would be a good book to read over the course of a year, reading one story a day. By the end of the book I found the common themes in the stories a little repetitive and almost hyper-optimistic, but they were worthwhile themes. I particularly enjoyed the stories of people who did crazy little things to brighten another’s day, hoping they would pay it forward. Nice collection that manages to be inspirational without being particularly religious.
