Read About the Power of Print to Change Lives
Books change lives and the stories in this title bear repeated witness of this fact. In each chapter, a well-known author talks about the power of the printed page to transform life.Each story is different and unique to the individual. I love this book and discovered new insights into several authors who I appreciate.

YOU'VE GOT TO READ THIS BOOK!55 PEOPLE TELL THE STORY OF THE BOOK THAT CHANGED THEIR LIFE
This book is one of the best I have ever read, I too could not put it down and finished it in 3 days!I was sad when I finished it.The stories were all so exciting.I couldn't wait to read some of their recommended books!I do hope there will be more editions of this book to follow.

An Interesting Look At What People Read And Why
I've read a number of books and articles about reading. I love to read and find it fascinating to see what others read and how the books have influenced their lives. More often than not, the list includes the same titles. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD and THE CATCHER IN THE RYE are usual favorites. GREAT EXPECTATIONS and THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV are often mentioned by more adventurous readers and of course, a work of Shakespeare has to be included on such a list. I planned on passing by YOU'VE GOT TO READ THIS BOOK since I figured I already know what's going to be in it, but when I looked in the back of the book, glanced at the titles, I was impressed by the variety of contributors, the wide array of books selected, and the stories that followed. Each contributor selects a book, tells a personal story and the way the book impacted their life.

Great 'how to' book
A good summary of many of the self-improvement books I have read over the past few years. The Power of Focus is more like a workbook with exercises at the end of each chapter.
Terrific!
This is a great simple how-to-instruction manual for life. Easy to read and understand.I would recommend this to anyone who wants and needs help to get their life on track.

Best Self Help Book on the Market
The Power of Focus is a concise and powerful call to action. This is a life changing book to be read over and over again, not one of those self help books that you read once and then put on the shelf never to look at again. This book contains practical action steps to help you meet your business, personal and financial goals. This book is not just a way to business or financial success but the blueprint for living a successful life. I recommend this The Power of Focus whole heartedly for anyone who wants to achieve more in any area of their life. ... Read more

Lots of Ideas, but Future Editions Need to be Kinder to Dogs
I got the audio version of this book to listen to during my commute to work.
NOT TO SURE~!
This book was good but not terrific. after reading best sellers like Why we want you to be rich by Donald TRump and God Doesn't run a $2 Shop by Sage Saint Francis i found that this book just was not in the same leauge.
The Best Book
I've read dozens of books from the self improvement / psychology genres and this is one of the very best and most practical with ideas that are relevant and applicable immediately to anyones life.It's organized into short chapters that are easy and fun to read.If you only have time to read the very best books then read this one. ...

It really does Works IF You Work It
This is not a book you will read and be changed by its profound ideas.It is not an idea.It is a practice.If you are an intellectual snob who is not willing to get out of your head and into your heart, this practice will not work for you.Only if you are willing to go within and and FEEL the feelings that are keeping you stuck will you gain from this experiential technique.If you are willing to do the exercises, it will be a profound experience in raising your awareness and your peace of mind.It can help you experience the freedom you seek.

One of the Better PRACTICAL Self-Help Tools Available
Over the past couple of decades, I have read a LOT of books that address the issue of creating a better life and ending "personal suffering." The "problem" with most of these teachings-- although certainly worthy-- is that they either require extensive learning, or following the ways of a Teacher (to the exclusion of ALL others) for *years*, before some level of self-awareness is reached.

Inspirational Read
"Chicken Soup" delivers once again.This book is a testament to the rewards possible through hard work, strength of character and unwavering faith in a dream.The stories are inspirational and showcase great examples of good ol' American ingenuity.It's a real winner!

Entrepreneur's Soul
As an Entrepreneur myself, this book is like a bible to me. To read about very successful people who didn't take no for an answer or realized what their passion is and stuck with it inspires me to not quit when business gets tough. I rocommend this book to anyone looking for the daily pick-me-ups that anyone in business for themselves needs. Well done! ... Read more

This book was so moving.
I read it as a teenager- and it moved me.
Chicken Soup for everyone!
This book was very inspiring, and informative on many matters in the life of teens. I thought this book was great and not only had fun reading it, but I also learned from it. I learned mistakes of other people, and many great lessons of life. While some stories were sad, others were cute, and happy. There are a wide variety of different stories that all contribute to the overall greatness of the book!

A hopeful book for those feeling less than hopeful
Caregiving can be a lonely, desperate job. Chicken Soup For the Caregiver's Soul helps to ease that loneliness and desperation.The laughter, tears, joy, and most of all, love expressed by the caregiving heroes in these inspiring stories will fill caregivers with a sense of hope.Regardless of the situation, Chicken Soup For the Caregiver's Soul is a must read for caregivers and those who care for caregivers.
For caregivers everywhere--and for those who love them!
Over 54 million people are involved with caregiving, yet everyone feels alone with their roller coaster of emotions. This inspirational book will give you a quick pick-me-up at any moment you feel that you could really use a hug. These lovely short stories are by real voices of courageous caregivers who share their triumphs and sorrows, helping you to have an easier journey. Your heart will be warmed as you smile and nod in recognition, and realize that you've gained valuable insight, solutions and hope. A heartfelt read for all caregivers
I received my copy of the Chicken Soup for the Caregiver's Soul as one of the book's contributors, and read it cover to cover. LeAnn, Jack and Mark have really captured the heart and soul of the caregiving experience with this finely edited book.As founder of Today's Caregiver magazine and caregiver.com (as well as a family caregiver), I have been blessed to read many books and articles about caregiving over the past nine years, and I find this to be extremely inspirational, touching and true. I would recommend it not only to caregivers but also to all of their friends and family members. I am proud to be associated with this book. ... Read more

Extremely Pleased and Thankful!
I personally did not read this book, however, I sent it to my 27 year old son who at the time was incarcerated as a result of a mix up with stolen identity (his ID having been stolen and used for criminal activities).It was an extremely difficult & spiritually frustrating time for him!This book made a tremendous difference and impact on his decision to rededicate his life to the Lord and allowing Him (Jesus Christ and God our Father) to "help" my son.My son derived much strength from the life stories of others, such as Chuck Colson, as well as all those that contributed their personal stories, in knowing that God is still on the thrown and has not forgotten those in the judicial prision/jail systems and that they are loved as much as those on the outside.My son said I could not have sent him a greater gift at the time.He also has shared it with many of the inmates who were interested in knowing how much the Lord loves them REGARDLESS of their circumstances, what we have done in life, as well as what we have not done in life to please the Lord. It helped many men and I am very grateful for the book and how quickly it was shipped!!That was a very important aspect as well since my son was in such a state of depression and needed some inspiration, hope, guidance and just plain down to earth stories about life in this difficult world.It helped him to keep on keeping on and having faith that God has a purpose for everything.Life catches us by surprise most of the time, however, it never catches the Lord by surprise. My son needed to know that it rains on the just and the unjust in this world, and it shines on the just and the unjust in this world (taken from the Bible).God is no respector of persons and this book clearly reveals that, but, he is a God of LOVE and he loves all his creations, including those that don't necessarily need a "hand out" but a "hand up" which are usually those incarcerated.Not all in the prison system want a get out of jail free.They just want justice done and this book allowed them, through the stories of those individual lives to know there is a "just God" in this world.Thanks for allowing me this opportunity to share my opinion/review and I hope it will benefit anyone interested in possibly purchasing this book!

BEST BOOK I EVER READ
I FOUND THIS BOOK ON AMAZON AFTER JUST BROWSING AROUND. MY SON IS IN PRISON IN UPSTATE NEW YORK AND I SENT HIM A COPY. HE TOLD ME HE GOT THE BOOK BUT NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ELSE. WELL THE OTHER DAY HE CALLED AND SAID "OH BY THE WAY YOU KNOW THAT BOOK THAT YOU SENT ME A FEW MONTHS AGO CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE PRISONERS SOUL WELL ITS THE BEST BOOK I EVER EVER READ". IT IS SO INSPIRATIONAL AND HE SAID IT HELPS HIM THROUGH SOME DEPRESSING TIMES. HE HAS PASSED IT AROUND HIS PRISION DORM AND EVERY ONE TELLS HIM HOW THEY LOVED THE BOOK. HE EVEN GOT INSPIRED TO WRITE POEMS AND SEND IT IN TO THE AUTHOR WHO TAKES POEMS AND STORIES FROM PRISIONERS AROUND THE COUNTRY. HE AS WELL AS I HAVE READ THE SAME STORIES OVER AND OVER AND NEVER GET TIRED OF READING THEM.
Reading simultaneously with my writeaprisoner.com penpal
I have purchased this book and ordered one for my www.writeaprisoner.com Penpal David, so we could read this book simultaneously. It really helped me to understand more of his situation, and David rated these stories as 'fun with feeling'.

I was drawn in from the start
This was the first Chicken Soup book I had bought.I AM a proud Military Wife and I couldn't put this book down.I laughed, I cried and it was easy to relate to the emotions and events.Yes, we are in a different time than most of the stories but time hasn't really changed what it's like to be a military wife.I look forward to a sequel.I will buy it the day it comes out, as I bought this one the day it was released too.I now have several Chicken Soup books.What can I say, this book made me a fan.

Satisfied Army wife
Well, I guess we're one of those typical young Army families. On May 15, me and my husband graduated college and he was commissioned. We were married the next day, and less than a week later drove cross-country to our first base. This book has provided encouragement for me so far. I enjoy the stories, especially the ones about missing the guys when they're in the field or deployed. Some of the stories are cute or funny, and others are really sad and touching. This kind of book lets you know you're not alone. I'll admit there are more Army, USAF, and Navy stories and not many USMC stories. Perhaps there will be a volume 2 that is more balanced?

wow
I've always loved the Chicken Soup series, and now as an Army wife, I just loved this one. I laughed and cried and just wanted to hug every woman that contributed their experiences to the book! ... Read more

Chicken Soup`s Review
In the book, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Love & Friendship, it has many
Comforting
I have bought several of these for family and friends who have lost a loved one.The stories are very comforting to them.

...something to hold on to...
This beautiful book was published about a year after my father passed from Alzheimer's.After writing my own book, as something to hold on to during my grieving time, I found a lovely surprise with this lovely Chicken Soup book as it comforted me and put me in that gentle healing place with the all the many contributors of this 'grief' book.I was amazed at the many synchronicities and concidences that were shared after the passing of their loved ones. For I had many heavenly experiences with my daddy as well.I felt relieved, very safe, very loved and very much belonging to this whole group of authors who graced me, the reader, with their sweetest private moments of healing.Thanks, Jack and Mark, for the beautiful stories and most perfect timing for me. ...

Good for those who haven't had cancer too...
If you have ever had a difficult time in your life, this is a good book for you.I read this book when I was having a very depressing time, a time where I was not sure I was going to make it out.This book, though, was a gateway for me.Since I don't have cancer, this book didn't inspire me in that way, but it did inspire me.I saw people that had a harder life then I did, and I realized that I would get through, that life would improve for me, and it has. :o)

Chicken soup for the Surviving Soul
After my diagnosis with breast cancer five years ago at age 28,this book was part of my salvation.Reading stories of otherssurvival helped me to realize that cancer is beatable.I now recommend this book to other cancer patients.

Faith, hope and love but the greatest of these is love
"Malignant", to hear this word when you or someone you love is diagnosed brings feelings of despair, fear and abandonment.The "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series gives you bits of humanity andmakes you feel hopeful, trusting and accepting.The stories, poems andessays are put together to give to us encouragement.I myself am a 5 yearsurvivor of stage 2 breast cancer and find the pages filled with newbeginnings. ...

The Aladdin factor
A pretty good book.I expected a "how-to" book, but was pleasantly surprised.The book is mostly anecdotes but really helps you focus, and lets you apply the "lessons learned" yourself.A very enjoyable read.

The Aladdin Factor
Bottom line is ASK, ASK, ASK for what you want. It's amazing how many people are afraid to ask for what they want or don't even think of it!
Asking is a good thing
I hate to ask for help, I have an aversion to it.And being a strong individual has helped me, but it has also hindered me.The Aladdin Factor changed my life in the first three chapters.I realized why I don't ask for help, how that is hindering me, and how to change it.In the first week I began putting the principles into action and wow, I asked and I received.It has been amazing.Read more

Simple excuses
First of all, this book is amazing and I see NO reason not to. For those people who bought this for a younger child are ridicoulous! Read the cover! Ages 9-13! There is a reason they do that! My daughter and I read this book and she is now inspired to make a difference in the world. If you know that a book talks about death then make sure your children are comfortable. Dont make them read it. Let them if they want to.

scary ideas for some kids
My daughter (10 yrs old) got very worried by a story about a child's mom who was killed at the office by a bomb. She kept worrying about parents dying suddenly. This story was not at all "chicken soup for the soul."

Uplifting for all
I really enjoyed reading this book being a teenager myself. It was very inspirational and touching. It is a good book for teenagers in any situation. I think it would be good for parents to read this book also because they could have a better understanding of what their teenager might be going through. This book talked about issues that are harder to talk about. It provides anonymous help lines for teenagers in need. The tops range from life to death. It is a very uplifting book for all.

THE BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! This book was soo amazing, I couldn't stop reading it! This book made me realize that I should be greatful to have such a awesome life and there are others out there that have hard times. To all those people who wrote there stories in the book I'm inspired by what they had to go through. All teens will love it but I have to warn you there are many sad parts and are very powerful so I think you should think about it first. If you're sure you want to buy it well go, you won't be dissapionted!

I LOVE THIS BOOK
i love this book. Because it has real life stories in it. And it really shows and helps kids out with tough stuff there going throught. It has like all the major categories of problems teanagers go through. My favorite sections are the stories on learning life lessons, and growing up. because it really had an influence on me, how kids grow up so fast. and how teenagers really need to learn life lesson. Its a great book and i recomend it to everyone. It will really help you get through tough times and know other people are going through the same problems. ... Read more

Super book for the teacher in your life!
This book arrived shrink wrapped and boxed.It is full of stories that really touch the heart. A great purchase for sweet short stories!

Chicken Soup for the Teacher's Soul
This book is a delight for those of us who teach or have taught the children of America...I was fortunate to have a story published in this edition and am proud to be a retired educator who served 39 years in the classroom and am still tutoring two days a week!

Something for the Heart.
I purchased this book after I felt led to go back to school to get my teaching certification. I was struggling with my decision and was looking for something to provide some hope and perhaps a little inspiration. CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE TEACHER'S SOUL gave me a little of that. The book is filled with all kinds of stories and ancedotes all having to do with teaching and education. Some are humorous and some are uplifting and a few are both. Since purchasing this book, I have learned that teaching is indeed a noble profession. However, it's nice to have this book around to help remind me of that every now and again when things get rough. Carpe diem. ... Read more

What a good idea all these Chicken Soup for the Soul books are! Instead of reading one book and hunting around for the most touching or uplifting passage, the Soup brigade of editors and writers scours the published world for brief excerpts, arranges them by category, and sells them by the kabillion.

Heartwarming.
The Chicken Soup series of books have certainly left an indelible mark on society and CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE COUPLE'S SOUL is no exception. There is a lot to like about all of these books. Usually presented in 2 - 3 page vignettes that make for easy reading and a variety of plots reach varied interests.
Just what I needed
I'm a huge fan of the chicken soup series, and this book did not disappoint me.
OK, but displeased with customer service
I thought I was getting a like-new book, but the dust jacket is worn more than I would expect.I asked the seller for a small compensation due to their misrepresentation, but I never heard back from them.

A Must For All Horse Fanciers
Before this collection and Chicken Soup For The Pet Lover's Soul, I had never before been remotely interested in the Chicken Soup series. I had assumed they were mostly self-help books, or religious or something. I was pleasently surprised when I read this sweet collection of stories. Quite contrary to my prejudices, it proved to be an inspirational, heart warming look at horses and how they alter our lives for the better. Whether you are an active equestrian, or simply an admirer of these noble animals, Chicken Soup For The Horse Lover's Soul will touch you all the same.

A Passion forHorses
This book was given to me as a gift.Once I started reading it I could not put it down.I love horses and everything you dream or image about horses is all rolled up in this book.I laughed and cried over the stories I read.If you own a horse or have ridden I'm sure you could relate to some of the stories in this book.It is well worth buying.I have already ordered the second Chicken Soup for the Horse Lover's Soul II.
A must have for anyone who likes horses...
As the husband of a woman addicted to all things equine I must say that I enjoyed this book. My experience with horses typically has to do with broom handling and staying out of the way and I enjoyed the stories of how horses actually enrich people's lives. While I thought horse were mostly good for spending money on I find that they are also good as healers, teachers, companions, and best friends. Like all the Chicken soup books the prose is simple and the stories are short and to the point. Do anyone who likes horses a favor and give them this book. ... Read more

A wonderful anthology that should be shared with the special cat - or cats - in your life
Being a cat lover - and the proud parent of 3 handicapped kitties - I gasped in delight when I came across CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE CAT LOVER'S SOUL. This anthology combines over 100 stories of love, friendship, mystery, rescues, and more, and each story - anywhere from 2-6 pages each - packs a lot of punch, and enough emotion to have even the most composed person shedding a few tears. If you are a cat lover, this is a can't miss book, that will spend numerous hours by your side. A wonderful anthology that should be shared with the special cat - or cats - in your life.
Tear jerker
Keep a box of tissues handy when you read this book.This book will make you cry tears of happiness and unfortunately sadness.From the impishness of kittens to the regal mystery of adult cats, our feline companions never cease to captivate our hearts and imaginations. Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul celebrates our feline friends, and the people who love them, in all their varied splendor: their independence, their msystique, their playfulness, and, yes, even their disdain.
The most heart warming book you will ever read!
