This series of books have the same tone as those cynical, anti-intellectual mega-church TV preachers who wear $30,000 wristwatches and claim to have all of the answers to your existence. If every story in this book isn't 100% fabrication, I'm certain that they have been generously embellished (sort of the same thing as fabricated).
Spoiler Alert! Your prayers are never answered; for every happy ending there are countless unhappy stories. Everyone dies, sooner or later. You can kid yourself about this with religion or hack bibles like this piece of trash, or you can just accept our fleeting existence on our humble planet and try to make the most of it. Just what it means to "make the most of it" is entirely up to you. For me, this means studying languages and piano and reading a ton of books and writing and seeing the world and experiencing new cultures, among other pursuits. Praying ain't one of them. To each his own.
The best part about trashing this stupid book is that there is no such thing as a soul and if you disagree with me, I suggest that you take flying lessons (don't bother with the bit about landings) and fly a plane into your computer right into my review of this book. That'll learn me!
The 欧宝娱乐 blurb for this book describes the authors as, 鈥淭wo of America's best-loved inspirational speakers.鈥� Other famous inspirational speakers: Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Dale Carnegie, Jim Jones, Tony Robbins, Richard Simmons, and Reverend Lovejoy from the Simpsons, to name only a few. Not very good company to keep. Let's just consider that word for a moment. Inspire: to influence, move, or guide by divine or supernatural. Do you really want to be guided or influenced by these two hucksters? Life doesn't come with instructions; so why do so many people look for them in this sort of childish pabulum? There are no easy answers. You just have to take bits and pieces of the wisdom handed down to us through the centuries and cobble some meaning together on your own. I have news for you: none of this wisdom is to be found in the self-help aisle at Barnes and Nobles, and there is certainly none to be found in this collection of fortune cookie aphorisms.
Instead of wasting your time with this garbage, read something that will give you some true understanding of human existence. I'll bet that most people who rated this five-stars don't believe in evolution. Evolution is one of the most illuminating ideas in all of human history, but these people would rather ignore science and take refuge in religion, superstition, and this sort of 鈥渦plifting鈥� silliness.
What does evolution have to do with these stories? The title of the book mentions the soul, something I don't believe in. Consciousness, yes, the soul, no. Just when did mankind attain a soul? Did the Neanderthals have souls? Homo erectus? Australopithecus?
Stephen J. Gold was asked if he had learned anything or if his thinking was altered because he had been diagnosed with cancer. He told the interviewer that his intellectual foundation would have been pretty weak if something as minor as his own illness could have rocked him off of it. If this sort of trash is your intellectual foundation, you are making a house of (greeting) cards.
Before you let me have it because I think this book is trash, look at your own ratings. I'm sure that there are books that you hate that other people treasure. I don't care if you don't like a book that I may think is excellent. The whole idea of this site is for readers to voice their opinions. I give most books 5 stars so if you're looking for something that I have written with a positive slant, read a review of a book that I loved.

one fine summer day, young mark monday - aged 4 or 5 - was tooling around the neighborhood on his Big Wheel. he was a happy lad and liked to make others around him feel happy too. this outlook soon saw its first challenge when he wheeled up to his friend Tommy - who looked miserable and had clearly been crying.
"What's the matter, Tommy?"
"Dad's going away!"
young mark monday was a military brat and so was Tommy, so mark knew exactly how he felt. he had felt the same way, many times. but he hated seeing his friend Tommy looking so upset. he thought for a moment, and as his thoughts tended to do, they moved towards his favorite shows, Sesame Street and Electric Company. what happened when kids had problems on those shows, problems that they didn't know how to solve? why, they sang about them! and then the problems just didn't seem so big anymore. and so young mark sang.
"Don't be sa-ad, Tommy!
Just be gla-ad, Tommy!
The sun is bright,
Let your heart take --"
mark was silenced when Tommy suddenly picked up a rock and smashed it right into his face. then Tommy ran off. mark sat there stunned... then slowly rode his Big Wheel home, crying and bleeding. from that day on, he knew the dangers of trying to turn a frown upside down.

Pick up the Chicken Soup for the Soul series ONLY WHEN YOU WANT TO READ SOMETHING POSITIVE AND NOT TO BASH THE BOOKS OR THE AUTHORS.
YES, this series is worth it. And I am still judged for actually checking out a book in this series in the bookstore.
It's fine. Various books in this series (parents, teens, teachers, pets as well as the one on grieving on the passing away of pets, on dogs) helped me cope at various situations in my life.

One of those books which forces one to think positive even if one is 100% doomed to failure, extinction, defeat, or death

About as spiritually enriching as the inspirational quotes you find on packets of instant oatmeal. If Nicholas Sparks were a motivational speaker, he would have churned out these tepid pieces of crap while bingewatching "Touched by an Angel."

I am done with self-help mumbo-jumbo... Don't tell me another story about this person who achieve this without giving me names, dates and factual evidence that is referenced!

Theese books were big when I was a kid. And I do mean fucking big. Just about all of the adults I knew were passing these books among themselves, going on about how awesome and inspiring these books were. And I was able to read these because hey, such Godly and inspirational books are soooo kid-appropriate/friendly!
And... yes, as far as "clean" and "appropriate" went, sure, the Chicken Soup books were fine for kids (older kids, at least, given the reading level) Now, some 20+ years later, I agree with that, at least from a neutral perspective. The stories are meant to be inspiring and uplifting.
However, the Chicken Soup books have a heavy religious/Christian bent, which isn't surprising given the two people responsible for the books, so many of the stories are about people finding God, or being inspired by God, or some shit. So while these books may be more appealing to Christians, there's less appeal to non-religious folks.
I see some reviewers questioning the validity of the stories, and now, thinking back, I can't help but wonder if some of these stories WERE indeed fabricated, to push the whole "you need Jesus to feel good" message. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me.

I loved this collection of short-stories. They are inspirational, motivational, and beautifully written. Many made me cry, which is also very cathartic.
The real magic behind the Chicken Soup Series is knowing the effort that Jack Canfield put into the promotion of this book before it became popular. After being turned down 144 times, he persisted. He is a model of passionately pursuing your dreams until they are realized.
I also had the chance to meet Jack Canfield at the premiere of the Keeper of the Keys, a documentary movie that I am featured in along with Jack Canfield, John Gray and Marci Shimoff. Jack was also kind enough to read and endorse my book, which can be found here:

My first read of April was a warm and kind one.
Chicken Soup for the Soul is a collection of many short stories, all intertwined with themes such as kindness, love, compassion, support, and all the good things people are capable of. Initially, I started this book purely because I wanted to finish it. I had bought it on a whim a few months back and somehow never finished it because I thought I knew what it would contain. It'd obviously contain cheesy stories about kind people and motivating experiences that may or may not touch me, and eh, just the usual self-help stuff, right? What else could it be? As happy as I am about spreading and receiving kindness in the world, I wasn't interested in a try-too-hard positivity book. Even when I started the book, this was my thought, and I read it just for the sake of finally finishing this book I'd bought.
I have to say, my heart warmed up. This book fits its name well; it is like a savory bowl of soup able to warm up our souls which are oftentimes cold and tired. You do get your typical (and real) 鈥渃hicken soup鈥� stories, from motivational ones of crippled people successfully chasing their dreams of being an athlete, to kindness-themed ones of people giving free Thanksgiving meals to strangers in need. You also get ones that aren鈥檛 so typical, like kind things said and done by little children, to poems that make you think about our endless possibilities we so often doubt and push away. I guess it depends on the reader how they would feel about these stories, but throughout reading it, I was warmed up. As predictable as chicken soup stories are, it still felt nice as I read about love and kindness in the world; I was reminded of how the world is always better with a little more love and compassion, and how we鈥檙e happiest not only receiving it, but giving it. From these short little stories, I thought to myself. I thought of the doubts I鈥檝e been having about my current life, about my future, about the hate that so often surrounds us, and the little things I could do to love both myself and others. It could be cheesy, I know, and yet we lack being reminded of the existence of these 鈥榞ood鈥� things so much. We always read about racism, sexism, prejudice, and other forms of hate, whether it be the hate themselves or the attempted handlings of them. How often do we read about hate, and how often do we read about kindness? It鈥檚 been quite a while since I was just simply reminded of the good things and people still living in this world, and being reminded of them is really meaningful. When I see good things, I think good things, and when I think good things, I鈥檇 like to think that I become good things, too. Just a small book to remind me of goodness in the world still made me feel a little bit happier.
So in conclusion, it depends on the reader: don鈥檛 read this book if you鈥檙e looking to change your life (no self-help book is capable of that; it鈥檚 all up to you, buddy), and don鈥檛 read this if you鈥檙e looking for a masterpiece. It鈥檚 just a small book filled with stories. But, if you鈥檝e been feeling tired lately and want to be reminded of some good things and ideas in this world, I think you鈥檇 like this book. I gave it 5 stars not because of how well-written the book is (and that鈥檚 unfair to ask from a non-fiction book sometimes), but more so for just the fuzzy feeling I got, and the hope that we can also be more like the ideas spread in this book: to be kinder, happier and more loving to both ourselves and others.

鈥淭wo seeds lay side by side in the fertile spring soil.
The first seed said, 鈥淚 want to grow! I want to send my roots deep into the soil beneath me, and thrust my sprouts through the earths crust above me鈥︹€�
And she grew.
The second seed said, 鈥淚 am afraid. If I send my roots into the ground below, I don鈥檛 know what I will encounter in the dark. If I push my way through the hard soil above me I may damage my delicate sprouts.鈥�
And so she waited.鈥�
MORAL OF THE STORY: Seeds can鈥檛 talk, jerkoff. And having wicked-passionate earth-shattering sex on a daily basis will certainly do a lot more for your soul than this collection of insipid quasi-life affirming claptrap.
I found this book in the garage. I didn鈥檛 realize it was at the BOTTOM of a box of books for a reason. I thought, what the hell, I could use a few stories to open the heart and rekindle the spirit, so I put it next to the bed for a little dream inspiration. More like night-sweats and hideous thoughts of Mary Poppins on crack. If this is Americas 鈥榖ook of wisdom and solace for the ages,鈥� we are in deep doo-doo. I would line the cage these pages if I were inspired enough to have a bird. Instead, it鈥檚 back in the box. In the garage. Waiting to be taken to the next church flea market.

This book was given out at work. Very readable and unoriginal. I'm far too cynical to enjoy and find deep meaning in stories like these.

Even if its just silly hugs, ribbons, seeds, books or love letters. Yes, this book is like that motivational short story you can see at the back of a cereal box but you can admit it is motivational right? Are you just can't appreciate things that make life bright af. People's reaction and their reviews to this book are just a reflection on who they are as a person and what they perceive to life's small successes or what the word "success" even mean. It's a fascinating psychological phenomenon :))))))
After every short story you FEEL something, all different from the story that you just read before that. Every story is cohesive to the topic presented but all unique to each other that you feel different things.

Once started, couldnt put it down! A real heart warmer, lifted my spirits no end, even when I didnt realise it needed lifting. TBH, it restored my faith in mankind, esp after watching the news all the time. This would also make a great gift for a reader or any genre, if they dont like it, then there must be something wrong with them! Many a time i found myself laughing out loud, crying to myself or just stopping to think to myself at the though-provoking story I had just read. Will definately read again some day!

One day, Justin Bieber saw a kid fall to the ground and asked his bodyguard to help him up. He then looked at the kid in the eye and said "If you learn to get up after falling over and not give up on your dreams, you can do anything that you want". And do you know who that little boy grew up to be? Albert Einstein
This is basically the book, some of the affirmations and messages of the stories were nice enough to even go through to the cynical heart of an auld woman like me. I liked the title and fancied reading something comforting but it just doesn't deliver. You can't manufacture wisdom and this just didn't inspire me. Obviously a lot of people like it and I hope that it's helped bring them some comfort. It is keen on championing the individualist underdog as they overcome obstacles which comes across as disingenuous in a society full of inequality and injustice.
Let's face it, chicken soup isn't very comforting if you're a chicken.
Also, some of it has really not aged well - I didn't like the message of "staying positive and keeping faith can cure illness" as I think that this is obviously shite and unfair to people who have lost loved ones to illness. And also, could they really not have edited the references to 'primitive cultures' out? It's really not aged well. And don't get me started on the inclusion of the inspirational story of OJ Simpson - it was quite the surprise!

This is a really odd book. Although I really liked a few of the stories, many of them seemed engineered to make the reader dab at the eyes with a tissue. The act of giving out hugs to randomly chosen strangers has been elevated nearly to the status of a religion. And as warmly as I feel toward some of my friends here on 欧宝娱乐, I'm just not a very spontaneous hugger. *Sigh*

Odioas膬 carte! Odioas膬. O colec葲ie de povestiri despre iubire, iubire 葯i iubire, dar acea iubire de pe urma c膬reia po葲i scoate bani, cea pe care o caut膬 oamenii 卯n c膬r葲ile de dezvoltare personal膬 sau pe la conferin葲ele celor ca Hansen 葯i Canfield. M-au f膬cut s膬 r芒d, dar un r芒s nervos, povestirile despre oamenii care au avut un handicap fizic 葯i tot au reu葯it s膬 ajung膬 sportivi de performan葲膬. Vai, trebuie neap膬rat s膬 le urm膬m modelul pentru c膬 sunt exemple de for葲膬 spiritual膬! Bine, dar c芒nd vorbim 葯i despre faptul c膬 ei au avut bani pentru cele mai bune proteze 葯i tratamente? 脦mi imaginez c膬 葯i oamenii s膬raci au ambi葲ie 葯i s-ar mul葲umi s膬 poat膬 munci, nu neap膬rat s膬 mearg膬 prin turnee, dar ambi葲ia nu e suficient膬 s膬 pl膬teasc膬 facturile, a葯a cum fac s膬 par膬 autorii.
Povestea care m-a 卯ngrozit este despre o fat膬 care mai avea c芒teva s膬pt膬m芒ni de tr膬it, iar ultima ei dorin葲膬 a fost s膬 mearg膬 la conferin葲a unuia dintre autori. Z膬u?! Nu, serios acum, z膬u?! 膫la tocmai vorbea atunci despre for葲a vindec膬toare pe care o avem to葲i 卯n noi 葯i le-a cerut fraierilor, c膬 altfel nu am cum s膬 le spun, care erau 卯n sal膬 s膬 ridice m芒inile 葯i s膬 le frece. Nu ca s膬 卯葯i electrizeze p膬rul cum f膬ceam noi c芒nd eram mici, dar ca s膬 simt膬 for葲a aia. Apoi le-a cerut oamenilor s膬 se g芒ndeasc膬 la respectiva fat膬 din sal膬 c芒nd fac asta. Ce s-a 卯nt芒mplat? P膬i, bine卯n葲eles c膬 aia s-a vindecat. Ptiu, ptiu!
Pe cuv芒nt, cartea asta m-a dezgustat 葯i 卯ntristat deopotriv膬 pentru c膬 nivelul de 卯ndoctrinare a oamenilor promovat aici este inacceptabil de ridicat. E printre pu葲inele c膬r葲i din via葲a mea pe seama c膬rora voi judeca un om. Nu a葯 葲ine niciodat膬 pe nimeni 卯n via葲a mea, dac膬 a葯 sti c膬 este de acord cu sp膬larea asta pe creier 葯i ce aiureaz膬 膬葯tia pe aici.
,,Da, z芒mbetul reprezint膬 o punte de leg膬tur膬 卯ntre oameni, absolut natural膬, neplanificat膬 葯i f膬r膬 prejudec膬葲i."

I remember reading this when I was still a young girl. I was a school librarian back then so I often read any Chicken Soup books. Sounds like I was slacking off huh. xD anyways I remember liking it as a young girl. It's a food for thoughts.

(reread) standout story by far is the moving tale about setting goals, all based on the life of *glances at notes* 鈥� OJ Simpson

I think the best thing in this book is the section about John Goddard, a kid who sits down and makes a "life's list" or a "bucket list" as it was popularized by the movie. And that kid did some absolutely amazing things! I was blown away, and still make copies of that story to share with teens when I teach them. It strongly influenced my habit of setting goals and trying to keep track of the adventures that I do have. But to be honest, I can't remember many (any?) of the other stories.

This was popular enough to be made into a series. Scary to think this is what people chalk off under 'Reading'
