In 1993 two motivational speakers came together to share the stories they had collected from their audience members. Collections of stories that shared uplifting, enlightening moments of human behavior, moments that demonstrate that in spite of the dark news constantly coming from the internet and TV, there is a hearty helping of good in everyone. Simple acts of kindness that seem inconsequential to the person doing it can have a massive impact on the person receiving it.
From that first edition the book series has exploded in popularity, and over the following 24 years, 200 different titles under that theme have been published. One of the most popular and prolific series of all time, new editions continue to be published for every possible theme. Including Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul, Chicken Soup For The Pet Lover’s Soul among dozens of others. Additionally, that have produced a line of foods, including sauces, soups, and prepared foods all under their title.
So this is where it all started for National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day! The authors have said that the day is about celebrating: “who you are, where you’ve been, where you’re going, and who you will be thankful to when you get there!”
