Book Description

Oct 7 2008 Chicken Soup for the Soul
1.  Almost two million men and women get divorced each year in the U.S., and the process can take years.  Most people need a few years to recover after the divorce as well.  Therefore, the audience for this book is in the 5-10 million range.  Many people buy a self-help book for the first time in their lives when they are getting divorced.

2.  Chicken Soup for the Soul has always provided strong support for men and women living through big changes.  Readers turn to Chicken Soup during the good times and the bad.

3.  The Chicken Soup line is being updated with new covers, new interior layouts, excellent editing, and up-to-date stories.  The line is also returning to the core values of its heyday, delivering 101 stories in every book.

4.  Chicken Soup for the Soul earned the Guinness World Record for having the most books on the New York Times bestseller list at one time.

5.  Last year, USA Today named Chicken Soup for the Soul #5 on its list of 25 books that left a legacy over the past quarter century.

The heartfelt stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Divorce and Recovery provide support, inspiration, and sometimes humor on all the phases of divorce.  The writers share their personal stories about the initial shock of the decision, to the logistics of living through the divorce, to the inevitable self-discovery, and the new world of dating and even remarriage.  It is a wonderfully uplifting book.

 

Readers going through a divorce will find this book a tremendous source of emotional support and a good guide as to what to expect as they go through the process.

 

The first Chicken Soup for the Soul book was published in 1993, and became a publishing industry sensation, ultimately selling eight million copies.  Since then, more than 150 Chicken Soup titles have been published, selling more than 100 million copies.

 

Chicken Soup for the Soul has won dozens of awards over the past 15 years, and its founders, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen have become celebrity motivational speakers and authors.

1.0 out of 5 stars depressing for the dumpee May 4 2011
By saturnstardust - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The first story I could completely relate to. I thought this was going to be such a good book. Then the next few stories were "hip-hooray" stories about dumpers. If you're the dumpee, it's very depressing. I can't even go on and read the rest of this book, because each page seems to affirm how great it is to leave someone else who just doesn't measure up to your standards. If you're the person who somehow just didn't measure up, it hurts.

After sarcastically summing up the last few stories I read by talking to the ceiling in my lonely apartment and saying, "I'm so glad I left you--my life is so good now," I threw this book in the garbage.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a good one May 27 2009
By A. J. Wilson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I picked up quite a few self-help books after my divorce. Thankfully, most were from the Library and I could return them at no expense. I felt so many emotions after my divorce. I wasn't sure what was normal. I just needed to try and make some sense out of it.
As a long time fan of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series, I pre-ordered this book from Amazon. It was exactly what I had been looking for. The personal accounts in the book provided a spectrum of experiences that allowed me to accept my ever-changing emotions. This book made me realize that there really were no "normal" feelings after a divorce. The stories provided different reasons couples may not succeed as well as different relationship outcomes between ex-spouses. The unknown is tough after a divorce, but this book provides a glimpse of the possibilities that will *eventually* come.
For me, this book was so much more valuable than all the other self-help books I picked up that focused on detailing the stages of loss. I didn't want to study my divorce; I just wanted to find some relief from the whole ordeal. This book provided that relief for me. I would recommend it to anyone struggling through the same situation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a great book for men Jun 26 2011

Virtually every story is written from a wife's point of view. Chicken soup for a woman's soul would be a more accurate title.
