From the hundreds of letters received every week, we can know that the individuals or groups who read and use these books have undergone miraculous changes. They talked about finding and understanding love, hope, confidence and encouragement from those stories in the book, which deeply influenced their lives. A story can improve the relationship with others, change people's feelings and make people suddenly realize that "we are all under a blue sky." A story can make us think deeply about the meaning of existence; ..... A story may make us still accept new truths, or give us a new vision and way to observe the world and all sentient beings. -Ross Studt We are now more aware that these stories have a far-reaching impact on the changes in our lives. They draw the blueprint of life from the heart; Provide methods to handle daily affairs; They create effective behavior patterns; This shows that we have excellent cultural literacy and great potential. They wake us up from confusion and encourage us to dream, work hard and do better. They remind us what is most important; They also set an example for expressing our highest ideals. How to read this book Many people read this book in one breath, and the effect is good, but we still advise readers to slow down, spend some time, slowly taste each story-just like drinking a glass of old wine-and ponder the living meaning of each story. If you read slowly with your heart, you will find that each story can nourish your heart, mind and soul in different ways. Once, a Zuni asked an anthropologist who was carefully recording stories: "Did you keep these stories in mind, or did you just write them all down on paper?" -Dennis Todd Locke The word "story" comes from "warehouse", so a story is a "warehouse" or "department store". Every story should have its own meaning. -Michelle Motor At first, many stories we collected or received were often accompanied by life maxims and practical dogmas. We have abridged this kind of teaching suggestion, so that each story is independent and you can appreciate its profound meaning. A believer complained, "You only tell us stories, but you never reveal the meaning to us." The master replied, "What would you think if someone chewed the fruit before giving it to you?" -sharing these stories anonymously with others is of educational significance, which can correct mistakes, enlighten the soul and illuminate the darkness; Help you and me complete the transformation; It can also soothe the pain and provide shelter for the soul. The story of Clarissa Binkoala estes, what a gift! -Daning McKinnes You will be moved by some stories you read and share them with your loved ones or friends. When a story really shocks you from the bottom of your heart, close your eyes and ask yourself: Who needs to listen to this story now? At this time, you will think of some friends who are always on tenterhooks. Visit them or make a phone call to share the story with them. In this way, you will experience it more deeply than when you understand it alone. Remember to share these stories with your family or others at work in temples and churches. Stories are paving stones on the road of soul redemption. -Lucy Studt * * * Reading, talking to each other and listening to each other are enough to change a person. These stories are powerful means of communication, which can reveal our potential, soothe our pain, shape our personality, show ourselves and thrive. Many readers told us how the first few films of Chicken Soup for the Soul opened their emotional floodgates and formed a communication path between families or groups. People will recall important life experiences and tell them on various occasions. For the Navajo, a person's value depends on how many stories or ballads she or he knows, because it is through ballads and stories that a person is connected with the history of the whole tribe. -Lucy Tabach Whether it is a priest, a rabbi, a psychologist, a consultant or a trainer, their sermons, consultations and consultations often start with stories and often end with stories. We encourage you to do the same. People are eager for this kind of chicken soup for the soul. It only takes a little time, but it has a far-reaching impact. Stories are gifts of love. -Louis Carroll Over the years, many people have inspired and inspired us with their stories, for which we are deeply grateful.
