Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Best Advice I Ever Heard: 101 Stories of Epiphanies and Wise Words

by Amy Newmark

You’ll read great advice in these pages about how to live your life to the fullest, achieve success in your career or vocation, keep your marriage fresh, and raise happy, healthy children.  Have a few words of wisdom changed everything for you? Has a piece of advice from a friend, or even a stranger, opened your eyes? It only takes a few well chosen words to solve a big problem, reorient your focus, and change the trajectory of your life. We’ve been reading these stories for years—stories about how one little piece of advice made a big difference. So we asked the public to send us stories about the one piece of advice that reoriented them, solved a problem, or changed the trajectory of their lives. And we present an amazing new collection in these pages—101 stories that have the power to change your life, too. We also have plenty of stories containing great advice for making yourself happier and healthier, and for pursuing your passions and dreams. And if you take some missteps along the way we also have stories for that, with a chapter on how to turn failure into fabulous. What a great gift of hope and inspiration!
