Marriage Means Happiness Ever Laughter Jul 20, 2020

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with yourChicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m sharing two stories from our new bestseller, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Laughter Is the Best Medicine. This book has been a huge hit for us but I must admit I was a little nervous about it. We sent it to the printer at the beginning of 2020, before the COVID-19 virus left China, and then I worried it would seem kind of tone deaf to have a book come out in mid-April that professed that laughter was the best medicine.

Tales of Loyal Cats Jul 13, 2020

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and today I’ve got stories for you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Cats. This new bestseller was put together because we get so many stories about the magic that cats bring to the lives of their humans. Cats show us how to be better people. If we rescued them, they rescue us back. They make us laugh, they keep us company, and they can help us heal or persevere or step outside our comfort zones. They are also great role models for resilience and fortitude and loyalty. And loyalty is what we’re talking about today: loyalty with a little surprise thrown in!

The Hidden Talents of Cats Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with a little Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration for you from our latest bestseller, Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Magic of Cats. We created this book because we learn so much from our cats… They show us how to be better humans. They teach us about resilience and fortitude and loyalty. If we rescued them, they rescue us back. And then there are the times when they just make us laugh, and it’s because of how they finagle extra privileges or how they get away with breaking our rules because they’re so cute.

Today we’re talking about cats that go missing and then miraculously return to their families, even months later and many miles away. That’s just one of the ways that cats add magic to the lives of their humans, because according to the writers of the 101 stories in this book, cats just plain make us better, happier people. If we rescued them, they rescue us back. If we’re sad, they comfort us. If we need to have more fun, they show us how. They are our therapists, our role models, and our best friends.
