Chicken Soup
for the Soul : 101 Stories to Open the Heart & Rekindle the Spirit
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

Amazon.com
This book, the latest in the hugely popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series, contains
stories, poems, and cartoons relating to the specific troubles that traumatize teenagers
everywhere. There are plenty of stories about dating ("HE KISSED MY TEETH!"),
friendships (don't gossip), and school. But Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
doesn't shy away from the big issues either, with essays on suicide, dying young, and
drunk driving. This book stems from the knowledge that teens know their own concerns
best—thus, much of the book is written by teens themselves, which gives the book a
very accessible, informal tone. Also, the authors had each piece evaluated by as many
teenagers as possible. The care shows. Teenage Soul is always respectful, and
doesn't minimize any of the dramas of adolescence. It does, however, mete out plenty of
perspective. This wise, tender, funny book is filled with wisdom useful to teens (and
everybody else, too).

One of the Best Motivational books ever!
I have struggled with a lot of self-doubt in my life. I have always been torn between two
polar opposites; anything that I can imagine, and really commit to I can accomplish, and
the opposite, that I'm not that smart, special or intelligent, I'm really just a day
dreamer. This book provided me with the insight to finally answer the question. YOU CAN
ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE, IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF - AND GO FOR IT! The
stories in the book have given me such insight into the struggles of others. I have walked
away from the book convinced that I can achieve my wildest dreams. I have read a lot of
motivational books, but this one is really special. The authors of this book are the same
people that have written the popular "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series of
books. In conjunction with this book, I would also recommend "The Aladdin
Principle", by the same authors. If we were to read the story of the folks who have
started this wonderful cyberspace book mart, you would see the principles of "Dare to
Win" in action. Rather than let others deter them, these folks took an idea, and said
why not, we can do this! They "Dared to Win". Your reading this review is proof
that they could do it. So what's your great idea? Do you dare to entertain the idea that
you could accomplish you heart's desire? Do you "Dare to Win". |
