This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Resolution: 101 Stories...Great Ideas for Your Mind, Body, and ...Wallet (Paperback)

As a senior I found many of the first-person articles to be helpful and have shared ones on raising children, etc. with our family. The book is applicable to all generations - helping to make you feel pretty normal if your resolutions go unfulfilled year after year and giving ideas for ways to "make them happen." It's a good read!

This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Resolution: 101 Stories...Great Ideas for Your Mind, Body, and ...Wallet (Paperback)

I'm pleased to have one of my past New Year's resolutions published in this book. My story, "Forced to Face the Facts," recounts how, more than two decades ago, I resolved to become a non-smoker. Now it's New Year's Day and for anybody who wants to find a way to enhance this brand new year, this book is chock full of tips on how others tried and succeeded...or tried and just accepted. For me, this year I resolve to keep writing, reading and reviewing. Happy New Year to all the Chicken Soup folks who keep bringing us these inspiring stories.
