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.

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Living Your Dreams FROM THE PUBLISHER
More than a decade ago, the publishing phenomenon that has become the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series was little more than an idea and a well-worn proposal that 140 publishers had rejected as "unsellable." Yet the aspiring authors remained undaunted and continued combining their passion with their 10 principles for "living their dream." Today, their book series includes more than 70 titles in 39 languages that have touched the hearts and minds of 90 million readers worldwide. In this tenth-anniversary edition, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen share time-tested strategies that will help you create the life you want for yourself, whether it's attaining financial freedom, enjoying more fulfilling relationships, spending more leisure time with your family or a living a healthier lifestyle. Sixty of the most popular stories from the Chicken Soup for the Soul series will inspire you to take action: stories of real people who had the courage and perseverance to live their dream -- people like poet and bestselling author Maya Angelou; Erik Weihenmayer, the only blind person to climb Mount Everest; two-time Olympian Marilyn King; Canadian figure-skating champions Paul Martini and Barbara Underhill; and other "ordinary" people who achieved extraordinary things. This keepsake edition is a must-read for anyone who wants to open their mind to life's infinite possibilities and open their hearts to believing they can make their dreams come true.
