Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The authors of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books (Canfield and Hansen) now team up with the Acts of Kindness authors to bring forth yet another collection of sentimental anecdotes. These stories are grouped into the categories of love, kindness, parents and parenting, teaching and learning, death and dying, gaining perspective and overcoming obstacles. Most are personal experiences illustrating moments of tenderness, justice, self-sacrifice, appreciation, pride or the bonding of people to one another. Some are parables, a few are genuine epiphanies and one or two, as welcome relief, are actually humorous. Following the stories is a section entitled "Eclectic Wisdom," which offers a few poems, and a list of "101 Gifts to Give All Year Long," such as "smile," "say something nice to someone," "be optimistic," and "use just one parking space." Readers who loved the first three servings of this fare will not be disappointed in this latest effort. Others may find the soup a bit too sweet. 50,000 first printing; major ad/promo; simultaneous audio; author tour.

An inspirational book that touched my heart.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A 4th Course of Chicken Soup for the Soul (Hardcover)
I thought it was a really good book. All the stories about people forgeting their problems and helping others with theirs. My favorite story was "Snowed In", it was about a three year old girl who needed a liver transplant. The day a liver was available to her ended up in the middle of winter. The snow was over two feet deep. She needed to get to Omaha within the next twelve hours. All the people in the community (tired from shoveling their own driveways) pitched in to clear a parking lot so a plane could take off to get her there. I liked this story because it was about people helping others, even when they were tired or cold. All the stories show some kind of hope, love, inspiration, compassion, or understanding to show the best in who we (the people of the world) really are.

Uplifting Reading,
By
This review is from: A 4th Course of Chicken Soup for the Soul (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book with uplifting stories that often left me with wet eyes. I learnt a great deal about life, love, kindness, parenting, death and dying, perspective, overcoming obstacles and wisdom. The book really warmed my heart, strengthened my spirit and improved my outlook on life. The stories in the book are short and crisp and very powerful. After reading a story, I would spend some time pondering and reflecting on the enormity of the lessons I would have just learnt and how I can use the lessons to be a much better person. The book is well written, well laid out and is a pleasure to read. This is recommended for all people that are seeking wisdom so that they can live more meaningful lives.

Good for everyone - a must read, and the tape is even better,
By A Customer
This review is from: 4th Course of Chicken Soup for the Soul (Audio Cassette)
This is one of the best books I have read recently. I laughed, cried, and found such insight in the pages. As a minister, I found sermon illustrations, and examples that will last me for a long, long time. This is a must read, as are all of the Chicken Soup books - It will bring health to your soul.
