Some books enlighten you, some keep you in the dark, some make you happy and some make you cry, some hypothesize you and some just make you wonder. This book has all that you would look for and leaves you with mixed emotions. Then there are books that change you; books that you take with you for the rest of your life… these you must share with fellow seekers. These are the books that unconditionally inspire to become a better human (read woman!).
A Second Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul
---------------------------------------------------------
This collection of stories is an amazing celebration of womanhood with stories of love, life and tragedy. This compilation covers all the bases of a woman's life from poverty and love in the heart-wrenching story ''Christmas in the Silver Egg'' to the humorous ''Ill Never Understand my Wife'' (tell me who does? Men can never understand sensible people, can they?) which deals with marriage.
A 3rd Serving of Chicken Soup for the soul
-----------------------------------------------------
Each story is touching. Some are sad, some are happy, but they are all unforgettable. When they tout this series of Chicken Soup books as ''Stories To Open The Heart And Rekindle The Spirit'' they are not kidding. When I read the book, I couldn’t bookmark any one page because almost every single page is great, and can be related to my life or referred to others to help in their lives. It is a book on life’s perspectives... These two men hit the nail on the head every time with the books entries. I can read the book cover to cover, and find myself going back a day or two later, and re-reading one or more of the stories, as it relates to my life. I would recommend this book to everyone, young and old alike. It is truly a book, and a series, for everyone!!

When reading this you are able to learn the different kinds of situations there are and the everyday people who go through them. This book is extraordinary and unique; how it slams real life into your face and shows exactly how unpredictable life can be.
Chicken Soup for the Couples Soul
-------------------------------------------
Anyone who has a romantic bone in their body will find this book entertaining and sentimental. I find the book interesting, eloquent at times, and generally worthy of a warm, fuzzy glow.
Chicken Soup for the Unsinkable Soul - Stories of Triumphing Over Life's Obstacles
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------
This book comprises of short stories, often rather verbose short stories rather than the short, meaningful passages in the earlier Chicken Soup books. I suppose that this might prove helpful to someone overwhelmed by insurmountable problems and in need of reading sappy boring story after sappy boring story but I was much more humbled and inspired by the earlier volumes.
