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.

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.

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.

This is the first Chicken Soup for the Soul book that I have read, having recently lost my job this past year to the economy. I can't say enough how these stories able me to keep a positive outlook and attitude on my life and career. Broken into eight convenient chapters: Love, kindness, parent and parenting, teaching and learning, death and dying, personal perspective, overcoming obstacles and eclectic wisdom. I even shared several of the Holiday stories with my family this year since Christmas was a little bare. Needless, to say that this past Christmas will stick with us more than the more past prosperous years, due largely I think to these stories that I shared. A sheer joy to read, I look forward to more books in the series!

This series has a formula that really works: go through thousands of stories and select the ones that really, truly touch the heart. Find stories that revive hope and offer meaning to daily life. Choose the best 101 of them and compile them as a resource to others. That's what the authors have done each time and this book is the crowning achievement! Meant to be read in short bursts, you'll have difficulty putting it down and not zooming through. And you'll need to dab more than one tear away, too

I would sit down to read these books, I couldn't help but to read the stories, and share them with who ever was around...they are inspirational, and uplifting. I have read them all and wait anxiously for more to come.
