So heart-warming book, really :) These stories are the simple manifestations of how human kindness, love and care can be so strong and overflooding that they make others; lives better or even save their lives! These stories really moved and affected me greatly! I'd like to thank Mr. Jack Canfield and company for their great effort in collecting and sorting stories in this blessed series of books.. Thank you, Allah bless yours souls :)

Now I know the power of marketing, they can sell anything if they know how to market it. There is nothing special about these stories.

I have read several of these books and really enjoyed this one just like I have all the others. They are really good inspirational, uplifting books. I always feel good after reading them. This smaller book could fit in your purse and has 101 poems, stories, etc. They have been pulled from other Chicken Soup for the Soul books, so I recognized some of the stories, but I definitely didn't mind reading them again!
