Confused? What is it?
I am talking about ‘CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL’
Just as the name suggests it is a unique healer for all problems. It heals and soothes from within. For those still oblivious of what I am talking about,
CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL (CSFTS) is a book. It is a fantastic collection of stories. Calling them stories would actually be undermining the book’s credibility. I should say they are incidents, heartwarming incidents that have been penned down for us to learn something from. It makes it sound like a textbook, well then, it is a textbook of life. One that does not forcefully infuse a school of thought but just lays down certain anecdotes and lets us decide for ourselves. What one derives from the happenings is thoroughly left to the individual.

It is a sure recipe for initiating and encouraging humans at any level to follow their dreams, set their sights high and never back out. It is amazing to read how little acts of kindness and compassion make huge differences. This is to say that ordinary people can do extraordinary feats just by believing in themselves.
This is the perfect recipe to transform the world we live in and make it a better place to live in.
