                       Chicken Soup for the Soul

I’d like to talk about a book I read recently called Chicken Soup for the Soul. It was written by two motivational speakers Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. They compiled the best 101 stories they were told in the book.

Chicken Soup for the Soul is a heartwarming and easy-to-read collection of true stories that inspire you to live your dreams. The stories demonstrate the best qualities that are shared as human beings: compassion, grace, forgiveness, generosity and faith.

The thing I like most about the book is the way I am taught to care for others, love myself, and overcome obstacles.

All in all, I’d recommend Chicken Soup for the Soul to people of all ages. It comprises inspirational stories that help spread happiness and hope throughout the society.
