Chicken soup for the soul

A series of books with ‘stories that demonstrate the best qualities we share as human beings: compassion, grace, forgiveness, generosity, faith’ and yes;  empathy too. The books give vivid examples of what people are willing to do for others (for complete strangers even). I have more than 20 of these reassuring and inspiring books at home and whenever I reread one of them, they always inspire me to greater understanding, connection and care for other people. They invite you to take on an inclusive perspective and I’d be interested to see if reading them actually raises your oxytocin levels and relax your amygdala’s (which I personally suspect they will :)).
