"As Carl Rogers taught, 'That which is most personal is most general.'
These beautiful stories uniformly teach most of us at the personal level.
They uplift and inspire and entertain and edify. As I love good quotation
books, I love this book of stories."
Dr. Stephen R. Covey
Author, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
"Any 'medicine' that has side effects should have a warning label, and
these Chicken Soup books are no exception. People who read them
should be cautioned . . .
'WARNINGReading this book will probably cause laughter, tears, lumps
in the throat and a permanent increase in love, courage and personal
responsibility.'
Jim Newman, CPAE
Author, Release Your Brakes!
"You can never get too much chicken soup, at least that's what Mom
always said. This second helping of Chicken Soup for the Soul is the
kind of medicine that goes down easily . . . and leaves a warm and
memorable feeling all day long."
Harvey Mackay
Author, Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive
"Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen's collection of stories in Soup
has a wonderful blend of wisdom and insight, just a dash of foolishness
and smiles, much more than a pinch of kindness, with enough warmth to
light the corners of the gloomiest of hearts. It's great fireside fare for
folks who are happy, troubled, disheartened, sick, or anyone who
watches "Court TV." It's nutritious for the soul and good for you. Try it
twice each day and call me in the morning!"
Steve Allen, Jr., M.D.

petty into the world of light, love . . . and possibility."
Susan Jeffers, Ph.D.
Author, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway and Dare to Connect
"With A 2nd Helping . . . Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield have
struck gold again. There's real take-home value in this one. I give it
another perfect 10!"
Peter Vidmar
Olympic Gold Medalist in Gymnastics
"Wonderful book . . . whenever I need a boost I take a 'second
helping.' It warms my heart and lifts my spirits."
Robert Kriegel
Author, If It Ain't Broke . . . Break It!
"Hearts will be warmed and free spirit will soar for those who read
Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield's Chicken Soup for the Soul."
Al Neuharth
Founder, USA Today
"Chicken Soup for the Soul is a priceless collection of powerful
stories that will move you to look at your life anew. Each story
broadens our perspective of what it means to be fully human and
teaches us that greater love, courage and compassion can be part of
our own story."
John Gray
Author, Men Are From Mars, Women Are from Venus
and What Your Mother Couldn't Tell You and Your Father
Didn't Know
"Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen are two of the few good,
outstanding, giving, loving people alive."

The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them. If stories come to
you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed.
Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive. That is why we
put these stories in each other's memory. This is how people care for
themselves.
Barry Lopez
With love we dedicate this book to the over 800 readers of the first
book who sent us stories, poems and quotes for possible inclusion in A
2nd Helping of Chicken Soup for the Soul. Although we couldn't use
everything that was sent in, we were deeply touched by your heartfelt
intention to share yourselves and your stories with us and our readers.
Love to you!
We also dedicate this book to Patty Aubery, who spent hundreds and
hundreds of hours typing and retyping this manuscript; to Kim Wiele,
who read over 1,000 stories and poems in the creation of this book;
Nancy Mitchell, who spent week after week tracking down authors
and publishers for the necessary permissions; and Angie Hoover, who
assisted in every aspect of this book's production. This book would not
exist without you!
