About the book
Stories about counting blessings, thinking positively and overcoming challenges fill this anniversary edition of the collection that launched the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Its compilers, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, were motivational speakers who gathered inspirational stories from others in that field, and the title came from a dream Canfield had. Major New York publishers turned the pitch down before HCI, a small self-help publisher in Florida, took it on, with the authors paying to print the first 20,000 copies. Like most later titles in the series, it centers on stories about ordinary people's lives. The twentieth anniversary edition, which also credits Amy Newmark, adds 20 bonus stories from present-day thought leaders.
Ansuz Balder Magni Investments CEO Alan Pierce described it as a feel-good read for times when busyness makes people lose sight of what truly matters, such as family, children, close friends and health.

Alan Pierce (CEO/Ansuz Balder Magni Investments)
A feel-good book that is great to read when sometimes we get to busy and lose sight of the truly important things in life, like family, children, close friends, health and the basic living necessities; things that we should always be thankful for.
