“We all have hidden reserves of strength and resilience, just waiting for us to call on them,” says Amy Newmark, author, editor-in-chief, and publisher of Chicken Soup for the Soul. “That’s why we surprise ourselves by making it through the inevitable challenges that we face as we navigate the ups and downs of life, and even more so during the past couple of years of the pandemic.”

Chicken Soup for the Soul’s 101 stories of Tough Times Won’t Last But Tough People Will, introduces readers to role models who describe how they made it through their own tough times, COVID-related or not, whether they faced financial challenges, health issues, relationship troubles, loss and grieving, natural disasters, or any of the other ways in which life can go off track. The book is like a portable support group for anyone looking for a boost of confidence and an infusion of positive thinking.

Join Amy Newmark and me on Tuesday, November 2, 10-11 A.M. CT U.S. We will have a conversation about what we can learn from courageous people revealing personal stories and sharing their powerful messages of resilience and hope.
