I bought this for my 94 year old Mother. Having severe dementia, but still being able to read, we have found books to be a great diversion for her. Large print is needed, the subject must be CLEAN and wholesome, family values matter to us, and the stories must be short so she can follow them. This fits the bill. As an aside to others considering this for the elderly, we have found comics to be of great value too. Hi and Lois, Family Circus, and things like that.

Remember when you were sick your mom would make you a big bowl of Chicken Soup and it made you feel so good? Well now they have chicken soup for the soul. A book that will warm your heart and make you feel better when your feeling down. This book is quite simply inspirational. As a real estate mentor I have many students that get discouraged or feel like they are not going to be able to succeed and then I tell them to get this book. Easy to read and it will make you feel so good inside.
Some of the stories in these books have helped me so much with many different things in my life. These books are in my opinion better than medicine for depression, grief, loss since of dirrection inspiration for school,work,home,family and life in general.The stories are well wrote and fit what ever life style or thing in your life you are dealing with. I simply love these books and thanks to E-bay i now have a few different ones to read. I recomend thes books to everyone who knows they may help you get though the toughiest times with a smile on your face and warmth in your heart.
This is the original Chicken Soup book, the first of what has become a best-selling series. A compilation of short true stories, some only a page long, it will encourage, motivate, and enlighten you. Some of the stories will make you smile, a few will make you laugh, and a few will make you cry. It's a good read when you're down in the dumps and need a lift. Some of the stories will teach you new ways to deal with problems you face with your family, friends, or co-workers. The stories can get a little syrupy and there is repetition, but I think the editors did that on purpose, to "drive home" the point. Overall, I enjoyed the book very much, and would recommend it to anyone who needs some "feel-good" reading material.
I had read this book before, the first being in the bathroom at a friend's house and then had to buy it for myself. I purchased this copy to give as a gift to my grown daughter. She works part time, has a rambunctious 6 year old and is a foster mom to a 3 year old. Life has been a bit hectic for them and thought she could enjoy her free time (in the bathroom) to read something to pick up her spirits a bit. The book is great because each snippet is short enough to read on the go. Some make you giggle inside and others make you go ahhh. She has enjoyed it very much and is glad I shared it with her. This is a great book to read yourself or give as a gift.
