Product Description

More than a decade ago, the publishing phenomenon that has become the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series was little more than an idea and a well-worn proposal that 140 publishers had rejected as "unsellable." Yet the aspiring authors remained undaunted and continued combining their passion with their 10 principles for "living their dream." Today, their book series includes more than 70 titles in 39 languages that have touched the hearts and minds of 90 million readers worldwide.

In this tenth-anniversary edition, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen share time-tested strategies that will help you create the life you want for yourself, whether it's attaining financial freedom, enjoying more fulfilling relationships, spending more leisure time with your family or a living a healthier lifestyle.

By implementing the steps they've used to help launch star athletes, industry leaders and entrepreneurs, you, too, will discover how to:

Use your "core genius" to maximize what you achieve;
Surround yourself with a success dream team;
Replace destructive habits with productive habits;
Use gratitude—and the bounty it attracts—as a catalyst;
Overcome fear and adversity so you can attain your goals.

Sixty of the most popular stories from the Chicken Soup for the Soul series will inspire you to take action: stories of real people who had the courage and perseverance to live their dream—people like poet and bestselling author Maya Angelou; Erik Weihenmayer, the only blind person to climb Mount Everest; two-time Olympian Marilyn King; Canadian figure-skating champions Paul Martini and Barbara Underhill; and other "ordinary" people who achieved extraordinary things.

This keepsake edition is a must-read for anyone who wants to open their mind to life's infinite possibilities and open their hearts to believing they can make their dreams come true.

This is an excellent addition to the Chicken Soup for the Sole series. Makes it all hard to believe that this type of book was turned down by sooo many publishers prior to the first one making it into print.

The stories in this book are true inspiration. I have decided to give it to my 20 year old granddaughter, as I feel this is the best gift I could possibly give to her.
