Try New Things, Get Happier Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m going to continue sharing stories with you from our newest book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Your 10 Keys to Happiness. This is a collection of stories that illustrate what I believe are the ten keys to happiness based on my reading of tens of thousands of personal revealing stories from our writers. One of those keys to happiness is stepping outside your comfort zone, something that will make you feel more empowered and energetic and reinvigorated. You could do something really big and scary, like moving to a foreign country, or doing a daredevil sport of some kind, or you could do something smaller, like wearing brighter clothing… or in the case of Ava Pennington, painting her walls with color.
