Book Review- Chicken Soup for the Soul
101 Inspirational Stories of Energy, Endurance, and
Endorphins
Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Amy Newmark, Dean
Karnazes
You know a book with Jack Canfield author of Chicken Soup
for the Soul is going to be inspirational. Jack Canfield loves to tell
inspirational stories in his work as an author and teacher.
Having ultra marathoner Dean Karnazes give it credibility as
a runner’s book.
In the middle of winter, good running weather in the Midwest is just a distant memory.
Many of us do get outside to run, but it is not the same
experience as a great run the other three seasons.
So if you can’t run the next best thing to a great run is
being inspired by the ways that running changes the lives of those who discover
its power.
Each chapter is only a few pages making it a great read
right before sleep. A chapter or two is
the perfect way to end the day.
The stories are from everyday runners and aspiring
Olympians. They include those fighting cancer.
Each chapter starts with an inspirational quote and the
author tells their story. The stories
are grouped into the following common themes:
- Starting Out
- Running Therapy
- Camaraderie
- Comebacks
- Everyday Adventures
- Family Ties
- A Step at a Time
- Fortitude
- Interesting Places
- Moving on to Triathlons
This book is an easy, breezy and fun read!
