I have been reading Chicken Soup for the Soul books since I was a teenager. The short stories never cease to inspire and evoke emotion. One of their newest editions, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Shaping the New You
is a great read when you are looking for some motivation to reach some of your self-transformational goals.
I don’t know very many people who do not at least want to be healthier. Finding the motivation to drop bad habits and change your lifestyle takes a lot of willpower and this book intends to help you motivate yourself to get active, live healthy and have the life and body you truly want. A forward by Richard Simmons sets the positive tone for the book which contains 101 short stories from real people who found ways to “shape their lives”.
The book contains the following chapters:
Getting Started
Exercise Can Be Fun
To Err is Human
Regaining Control
The Gym
Liking Myself
Having a Partner
Telling Myself the Truth
Foods that Made a Difference
Off the Beaten Path
In addition to the stories, inspirational quotes and whimsical cartoons complete the book’s healthy theme. As with all the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, I thoroughly enjoyed this edition. As someone who has been struggling to live healthy lately, I enjoyed reading stories from real people who were able to overcome barriers and make a positive change. This is a great read for anyone who is working on living a healthier lifestyle.
