    A Unique Coloring Book for Cat Lovers, with Chicken Soup for the Soul Stories and Illustrations
    2026/08/07
    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark, and I’m excited today to introduce you to our latest coloring book for kids and adults. This one is called the My Very Good, Very Bad Cat Coloring Book. It’s our second coloring book about cats and it’s a full-fledged, super-high-quality adult coloring book that ALSO contains 37 full-length Chicken Soup for the Soul stories! We looked at all the popular high-end coloring books on the market and we made ours the same as those – with high quality paper, perforated pages so you can frame them, and art that has the just amount of complexity for coloring. Then we added in those 37 stories, and 37 coloring pages with images that go with the stories. You can find the coloring book at all the online merchants as well as in some big box stores that have coloring book sections, including Kroger and Meijer. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Hurt by Mom? How to Forgive and Free Yourself

    Hurt by Mom? How to Forgive and Free Yourself
    2026/08/03
    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

    Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m excited to share a couple of stories with you from our latest humor book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: I Can’t Stop Laughing. This book is a true gift – one you can give yourself or anyone else in your life. Because we all need some comic relief these days, something to distract us from current events, social media, and all the other negative stuff we’re exposed to. The 101 stories in this new collection will make you feel good, and they’re all true, related to us by the people who lived through these hilarious and truly human experiences. No one is safe from our storytellers, from family members to friends to colleagues, and of course, themselves. Our storytellers are very good at sharing their own most embarrassing moments, and today we’ve got a couple of fun stories about how our writers just managed to avoid major embarrassment with their neighbors, through a combination of quick thinking and some pretty big white lies.
