I used to read a lot of Chicken Soup for the Soul books. This is similar offering numerous short pieces about the encounters people have had with others who either made such a huge difference in their lives that they were propelled to change the direction of their life, or memorable accounts with strangers that made their day or encouraged them to pass it forward.
It's a good book for this period of time in our country where there is so divisiveness. You can't even look at the news these days without encountering something horrible that someone did. Imagine the possibility that a bit of kindness by someone may have changed the trajectory of another's life to the point where they might have not done what they did. .
I read this book in small pieces and spread it out over a few weeks. I actually came away energized and thinking more along the lines of trying to be more observant and see if I could also be more of a blessing in the lives of others.
