I still love Chicken Soup for the Soul. Every time I pick up one of the books, I’m reminded why they captured my heart in the first place. The stories are short, real, and heartfelt—but they pack so much meaning into just a few pages.

What I love most is how these stories connect me to people’s everyday experiences. Some make me laugh, some make me tear up, and all of them leave me feeling a little lighter, a little more hopeful, and a little more connected.

These books act as tiny reminders that life is full of small miracles, acts of kindness, and moments worth celebrating. No matter how busy or chaotic my day is, taking a few minutes to read a story from Chicken Soup for the Soul resets my perspective. It’s a pause button for life.

Even now, the books continue to inspire me. They encourage gratitude, reflection, and seeing the good in the world—even when it’s easy to focus on what’s wrong.

If you haven’t picked one up in a while, I highly recommend it. Sometimes, the simplest stories are the ones that leave the deepest impact.
