— Lovely_girl, 4/18/2013" This book was given out at work. Very readable and unoriginal. I'm far too cynical to enjoy and find deep meaning in stories like these. "
— Nancy, 4/16/2013" Waaay too sappy for my taste. Writers need to learn that "sappy" is not the same thing as "inspirational." "
— Guthrie, 1/30/2013" Do you want to get inspired? Read this collection of stories by Jack Canfield. He brings together 101 real-life accounts that brought success to many people. The beauty of this anthology is that all are non-fictional. "
— Arun, 12/24/2012" absolutely uplifting, funny, sad and spiritual all at the same time. A collection of true stories that I could truely relate to at times, gave me some food for thought. "
— Helenmarie, 12/21/2012" I read this back before there was an entire line of these books--I think, in fact there were only two or three volumes of general stories. They weren't bad, but the explosion of so many types of these books depresses me in the same way that seeing children clamoring for Barney does. "
— Catherine, 12/18/2011" I absolutely love the books in this series. They always help me get grounded and feel thankful and appreciative for all that I have. "
— Veronica, 9/25/2011" I was hooked on this stuff circa 6th grade. "

— Zengele, 7/11/2011" When I started reading the "Chicken Soup" books, I didn't care too much for books of short stories. I have now read several of these and this one is the best! It's and absolute must read for dog lovers! "
— Stephanie, 7/7/2011" I liked it. It's meant to be for easy reading and it really does uplift you. The stories are very touching but sometimes quite cheesy, but all in all it's a good read. "
— Hana, 6/28/2011" i thought it was a good book for people going through problems or need hope. "

— Brandee, 5/20/2011" Garbage that has doubtless sold and made millions, but also the most wretched collection of egregious offal ever published in English. The most insipid collection of platitudes and mindless trash I have ever read or seen. Absolutely horrid. "
— Ross, 5/14/2011" kisah-kiash yang disuguhkannya sangat isnpiratif!<br/><br/>Kadang bikin aku nyaris nangis juga :')<br/><br/>aku sadar aku kurang bersyukur atas nikmatNya setelah membaca buku ini :( "
