Whoever the editor is for this book needs to be fired. There were so many typos that were very distracting. As far as the content, sure, some of the stories were inspiring, but mostly if you're about to hit the age of retirement or aspire to be a writer. It's a quick read though so not a total waste.

BAGUS! Buku yang mengubah pandanganku terkait hidup. Awalnya aku merasa bahwa aku terlalu tua, terlalu terlambat untuk melakukan hal yang aku sukai. Aku juga merasa terlalu telat untuk mencari passion. Dan berbagai keraguan lainnya.

Namun, setelah membaca buku ini, pikiranku lebih lebar.
1. Aku tidak terlalu tua untuk mengejar passion.
2. Tidak terlalu tua untuk melakukan apa yang aku inginkan.
3. Aku bisa memulai kembali hidup kapanpun yang aku mau.
4. Aku bisa menyetir hidupku. Bisa menggerakkan ke arah tujuanku.

Yang aku suka dari buku ini adalah berdasarkan kisah nyata. Semuanya nyata. Kisah seorang pecandu narkoba tiba-tiba tobat selama berbulan-bulan. Atau seorang ibu yang menjadi guru yoga di umur 40 tahun. Atau nenek usia 60 tahun baru menjadi novelis terkenal.

Bagus. Sangat bagus. Seperti memakan sup di pagi hari. Hangat. Tenteram!

This book contains 101 stories about how people reboot their life and start over. It also teaches and inspires people to do it now, follow your heart, take a chance, find your purpose, start over, mind your health, overcome adversity, listen to your friends, take time for you and adjust your attitude.

Whenever you say " I hit rock bottom now" or "I can't do it", take some mins to read a couple of stories from this book. Nothing is unmovable, and your life has the potential to turn over to your own right track

Dhira (warga JSM) review jujur buku 🤭 – Chicken Soup for the Soul: Reboot Your Life

this book is a compilation of 101 kisah benar dari *orang biasa yang buat keputusan luar biasa* untuk ubah kehidupan diorang. some quit their jobs, some overcame depression, others started new dreams even after 50. sangatlah relatable & menyentuh hati.

every cerita dalam buku ni bagi kita semangat untuk “reboot”. bukan sebab kita gagal, tapi sebab kita berhak untuk hidup yang lebih tenang and bahagia.

Dhira point out kan few cerita favourite Dhira:

1. I Wasn’t Too Old to Change – story about wanita 50an jadi cikgu yoga 🧘‍♀️
2. From Breakdown to Breakthrough – this one so relatable, dari depresi to inspirasi.
3. The Day I Said No – yang ni pasal belajar jaga boundaries & diri sendiri.
4. Letting Go of the Timeline – stop comparing, just live your pace.

after reading this book, Dhira dapat perspective baru tentang gagal, kalah, depresi, ujian. sometimes, untuk kita jumpa cahaya dan jawapan, kita kena berani untuk tekan butang reset ❤️

buku ni sesuai sangat untuk yang rasa stuck, penat, hilang arah atau nak cari kekuatan baru. memang highly recommended for personal growth, light weekend reading, or even as boleh pinjamkan buku ni untuk someone who needs a little boost. try lah bacaaaa 😍

"Memulai kembali. Menciptakan kembali. Menghidupkan kembali. Menyusun kembali. Sungguh luar biasa melihat betapa banyak kata mengubah hidup yang diakhiri dengan kata "kembali", tapi itu juga menuntut usaha!" Penutup dari Amy Newmark tersebut mampu merangkum 101 kisah nyata dari orang-orang biasa yang dengan jenis perjuangan masing-masing berusaha (dan akhirnya berhasil) memulai kembali hidup mereka.

Mulai dari 'sekadar' berjuang untuk kembali memprioritaskan dan meluangkan waktu untuk diri sendiri, sampai berjuang untuk menghadapi dan mengatasi masalah kesehatan fisik. Juga mulai dari berjuang untuk memulai sesuatu yang baru di usia lanjut, sampai berjuang untuk menata kembali hidup setelah kehilangan orang tersayang, rumah, pekerjaan, bahkan kehidupan pernikahan. Dengan ciri khas "Chicken Soup for the Soul" yang sudah kita kenal sejak dulu, semua (atau setidaknya beberapa) kisah nonfiksi di dalam buku ini akan menyentuh kita — dengan kebijaksanaan dan bisa juga dengan 'tamparan' emosional.

Berisi kumpulan cerita pendek tentang mereka yang gagal, mereka yang berada di ambang batas, mereka yang menyerah dan hampir menyerah, tapi memilih berdiri lagi dan memulai lagi.

Review jujur dari saya adalah; buku ini ga bagus, personally buat saya pribadi. Selain karena saya ga bisa related dengan kejadian-kejadian yang dialami para tokoh dalam buku ini, terjemahan yang buruk memperparah itu semua. Banyak sekali scheming yang saya gunakan di buku ini, entah karena bosan ataupun karena ingin mengakhiri buku ini secepat mungkin.

Meskipun cerita nya ga banyak relate, tapi membuat pikiran terbuka. 1 hal yang saya dapatkan setelah membaca keseluruhan cerita dalam buku ini: tidak ada orang hidup yang tidak susah. Dengan buku ini saya menjadi berani dalam menjalani hidup dan apapun keputusan yang saya ambil adalah completely mine, don't regret it then.

Book Review:
Genre - Non-Fiction

Summary - This book is a collection of inspiring stories from people of diverse ages, backgrounds, and experiences who have undergone transformative moments, pursuing their dreams and reinventing their lives.

Review:
I recently had the privilege of reading this book, and it was exactly what I needed – a shift in perspective. The stories within its pages are testaments to the human spirit's capacity for growth, resilience, and determination. Many of the experiences shared resonated deeply with me, and the narratives served as a powerful reminder that nothing is impossible when we set our minds to it.

What I found particularly uplifting about this book was its ability to inspire readers to step out of their comfort zones. The stories are a testament to the potential that lies within each of us, waiting to be tapped. This book came into my life at a pivotal moment, offering a much-needed boost of motivation and encouragement.

I would give this book a well-deserved 5-star rating. It felt like a personal message of hope and support, almost like a hug from God. Although it’s just a book, the impact it had on me was profound. The stories and experiences shared provided comfort and motivation, reminding me that I’m not alone in my journey.

Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for inspiration and a reminder of the power of transformation. It’s a beautiful collection of stories that will undoubtedly leave you feeling uplifted and motivated to pursue your dreams.

Interesting and in some ways inspirational. It seems that the new Chicken Soup for the Soul books are becoming less readable, possibly because, in an effort to add new titles, the focus of each book becomes more narrow and thus more repetitive and boring.

This book, however, seems to have taken a broader topic and divided it into more categories so that the book does not seem so repetitive. It is easier reading 101 stories about a wide topic than a narrow topic. Eventually, the situations can become so similar that they no longer are interesting or inspiring.

[Daniel Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second Chicken Soup book I've read (I know, what have I been reading?), and it's the first one with Amy Newmark at the helm. She's mastered the Chicken Soup recipe: stories of inspiration, humor, and reflection. You won't be able to read this book without thinking about whether your life is on the right path. If it's not, you can make changes to get there.

[Annie McFox · Rating 2 out of 5]

These are very short stories which are light on detail...like I gave up this and then did this and I am so happy now, nothing really about the process or how people supported themselves financially while changing directions etc. Not very helpful.

A nice read.
