From Booklist

Canfield knows what's good for what ails you. His remedy is nothing more complicated than warm chicken soup. Along with Mark Hansen, Canfield has dispensed more than three million copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul and its Second Helping, and, like the comforting broth, these simple books have proven effective. Each is a collection of 101 inspirational stories selected not only to make you feel better but to stick to your ribs. Canfield and new coeditor Miller conduct highly popular self-help, self-esteem seminars and, using the same recipe, they now target the workplace. They choose a new set of stories that demonstrate that perseverance leads to success and that without self-esteem one cannot overcome setbacks or failures. Canfield and Miller serve up an invigorating melange prepared by masters of motivation as diverse as Lou Holtz, Mary Kay Ash, Khalil Gibran, Nelson Mandela, and Mother Teresa. Order up a batch!

I have read at least 3 times in the past year and feel it has made a positive impact on my professional and personal life. It reinforces what should be such basic concepts to live and work by. I find this book inspirational and refer to it frequently.
