Chicken Soup for the Soul: Think Positive: 101 Inspirational Stories about Counting Your Blessings and Having a Positive Attitude

The order was fine. The book was in excellent condition. But it is a terrible book. The stories are superficial and shallow. The problems were so incredibly trivial and full of self pity i could hardly stand it. For example, “I broke my leg and it ruined my vacation”. I was hoping for something with more substance.

It's not that good. I was looking for something more. To me it really doesn't reflect well on what the chicken soup books are all about. If this would have been my first chicken soup book I probably wouldn't purchase any more after this. Luckily I know better. Moving on. Let's try another.

Another great Chicken Soup book. I saw a lot of Zen thinking in this book. It showed me, once again, that acceptance of a situation, concentration on the present moment, and enjoyment of the good, positive aspects of all circumstances helps us to rise above difficulties. Some of the authors have illnesses or disabilities which would depress many people. Would you see the positive side of Alzheimer's Disease? Could you still be happy if you had macular degeneration and were slowly going blind? Could you have Asperger Syndrome and still want to travel the world knowing that you were directionally-challenged? I don't think I've ever made it through a Chicken Soup book without crying. And this book was no exception. It was so moving. I am a person who tries to look for the silver lining, but I often fall short, and this book has helped me to look for the beauty in all circumstances.

Great and inspiring book. It helped our son stay positive while he was incarcerated with drug charges. He mentioned how inspired and encouraged it made him feel. Thank you.

This is a great book for anyone. It is especially good for people who suffer from depression. I love it and plan to keep it so that I can reread some faith stories in my time of need.

I was recently diagnosed with a serious disease. It has been difficult to stay positive that is for sure, but I know it is important in order to enjoy the now. I bought this book because I needed to hear inspiring stories of people who overcame illness, problems, and adversity. The stories on illness were encouraging. I read several stories before I go to bed, when I get up, and during work breaks. I'm "injecting positivity in my veins" even if I don't feel positive. I figure at some point if I keep dwelling on the positive, it will stick!

Bought it for my 13 year old daughter, she didn’t keep reading it because she said it was too boring.

There are other Chicken Soup for the Soul books on positive thinking that are better then this one.

I don't know what all the fuss was about with this book. It is a list of miserable happenings and terrible troubled, awful things which happen to ordinary people. Sure, they also overcome the problems, and I am sure this book is about encouraging people to be positive and look forward and get over these horrors. But seriously, reading about this terrible incidents just brought me down. I gave the book away. It was making me miserable and I am sure that was not the intention of the writer.

Great book and must read for everyone. Gratitude is important finding the goodness in everything is a great place to be . Just started reading it and it’s good !!!!

Was told about this book at a psychology group and it was a fab buy the short stories are so inspiring and put you in different scenarios you see an other way round.

Bought this for my granddaughter. It's her thing

Really is a positive cd. It certainly made me count my blessings. Wish I'd listened to this when we were going thru' a particularly bad patch.
