Well, if laughter is the best medicine then we have your prescription in the form of our latest humor book.

    Reframe, Revisit, and Regain Your Joy

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m pleased to share new stories with you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Let It Go, which is our latest best-selling self-help book. I didn’t really understand the power of forgiveness to change my life until I started doing this editor-in-chief job at Chicken Soup for the Soul 18 years ago. I always thought that the word “forgiveness” meant that you were excusing the person who hurt you, saying that it was okay. But it turns out that “forgiveness” doesn’t mean that. What it actually means is that you have decided not to keep reliving all the negative feelings associated with whatever bad thing happened to you. You may even come to understand WHY it happened and what drove the other person to act that way, which enables you to NOT take it personally. Because it was never really about you. It was about themselves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Ready, Set, Gobble

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I want to share a couple of stories with you today from our new book about The Spirit of Christmas. I know it seems a bit early for a Christmas book, but this is all about Thanksgiving too, and you know how retailers are—the moment Halloween is over the Christmas merchandise comes out, and they want our books in the stores by the middle of October. That’s okay because many of us love Thanksgiving almost as much as we love Christmas, so we always devote a lot of pages to Thanksgiving and turkey disaster stories and creative cooking ideas, and lots of other around-the-table stories that will get you ready for the holidays in general. And of course, we have to start with a turkey disaster story because that’s a holiday tradition for almost everyone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    How to Push the Reset Button and Find Forgiveness and Peace with Your Ex

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m pleased to share new stories with you from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Let It Go, which is our latest best-selling self-help book. The subtitle of the book talks about Forgiveness and Freedom, because that’s exactly what you get when you use the power of forgiveness—you get freedom. You’re really only hurting yourself when you don’t let go of the bad things from your past – the hurt, the disappointment, the resentment. Usually, the person you’re mad at doesn’t even know and is happily leading his or her own life… while you sit there stewing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
