This irreverent and insightful look at the human experience provides a road map to a happy, productive life.Recovering cynic Amy Newmark was a crusader for truth on Wall Street, exposing companies that were defrauding investors, but the main emotions she wrote about were fear and greed. But now she and her family own Chicken Soup for the Soul and her life is very different. Amy’s journey from Wall Street to Main Street has changed her in ways she never anticipated. Now, as author and editor-in-chief of Chicken Soup for the Soul, she covers the whole range of human emotions and finds herself a much more positive and productive person. Still a maverick with an irreverent sense of humor and a penchant for self-deprecating stories about herself and her family, she also synthesizes everything she has learned from reading and editing tens of thousands of Chicken Soup for the Soul stories, and presents her findings to readers. A keen observer on parenting, love and marriage, positive thinking, working, and relationships, she shares her wisdom, her humor, and her advice in this wide-ranging book, filled with real-life stories and no nonsense, practical tips that readers can actually implement to improve their own lives.
