How to See the Good in Every Day Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m going to start sharing stories with you from our newest book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Your 10 Keys to Happiness. This book is a passion project for me and the synthesis of everything I’ve learned in 14 years as editor-in-chief of Chicken Soup for the Soul, reading tens of thousands of stories from people who bare their souls and talk about what works and what doesn’t work in their lives. I’m excited to share some great examples of what DOES work in this new collection, with ten chapters of ten stories each that cover what I see as the ten keys to happiness. You can read these stories and pick up some great ideas for your own life. And what’s cool is that you can make a big change in your life by just adopting what you’ve learned in one story. You don’t have to do more than that to feel the difference.

Kids and Kindness—Never Too Young Jun 08, 2022

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m sharing two stories from our new book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Kindness Matters. This book has been a big hit for us. People are craving these feel-good stories about people being NICE to each other. And what I thought was cool about today’s stories is that they’re about kids performing acts of kindness, solely because they want to, and not because they were told to or it would look good on their college applications.

This book is a product of my 14 years as editor-in-chief of Chicken Soup for the Soul, during which time I’ve read tens of thousands of personal revealing stories from thousands of people.

And that’s how I’ve come up with what I believe are the ten most important keys to happiness.

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today we’re talking about how the kindness of strangers can turn around a bad day and make into a memorably good one. I’ll be sharing two stories from our new bestselling book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Kindness Matters.
