Chicken soup for the unsinkable soul

by Jack Canfield

Everyone faces obstacles in life - some are tiny hurdles that may trip you up for a time; others loom like ominous clouds, sending even the most courageous souls seeking shelter. How you handle these obstacles determines whether you will live with fear, regret and anger, or faith, acceptance and joy. Chicken Soup for the Unsinkable Soul offers encouragement for anyone confronting challenging times, whether dealing with an emotional or financial loss, battling an illness, or experiencing the ups and downs of pursuing a lifelong dream. Written by celebrities and ordinary folks, each story emphasizes triumph in the face of overwhelming odds and demonstrates that no matter how difficult a situation, other people have lived through it and emerged with renewed strength and an appreciation for life, themselves and others. With chapters on Living Your Dreams, Courage and Determination, Attitude, The Power of Support and Eclectic Wisdom, readers will realize that all things are possible. When you or someone you know faces an uphill battle, give them the inspiration they need to succeed by reminding them they are the Unsinkable Soul.
