Chicken Soup for the Soul is a series of books that usually features a collection of short and inspirational stories and motivational essays. The stories and essays were complied by motivational speakers Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. The first book sold over 2 million copies and now over 100 million copies are in print and have been translated in 54 languages world wide. The name “Chicken Soup” was chosen by the authors of the book because of the use of chicken soup as a home remedy for the sick. After the success of Chicken Soup for the Soul, over 105 titles have been published; many of which are directed to specific groups of people. The Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul series also became a bestseller among teens across the world.
