Chicken Soup for the Soul with Amy Newmark

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and today I want to share a couple of stories from an exciting new book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Listen to Your Dreams. This is our third book about dreams and how you can use them as a kind of GPS for navigating your life. I’m constantly amazed at just how useful dreams are. They can reveal so much about what our subconscious is trying to tell us, things that we’re too busy to listen to during our waking hours. When you do listen, it can be life changing. And that’s what happened to the two writers who share their stories with us today—stories about how listening to their dreams set them on paths to new, way-more-fulfilling careers.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and today we’re talking about cats, particularly cats who are naughty and then act guilty about it. You might not think that pets feel guilty but they do. I remember when our son’s dog ate two pairs of my shoes—on successive days—he was whimpering and so upset with himself, but he just couldn’t help himself. But cats? They seem so self-assured. Do they really feel bad after they’re naughty? Well apparently sometimes they do. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I’m sharing two stories from our new bestseller, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Laughter Is the Best Medicine. This book has been a huge hit for us but I must admit I was a little nervous about it. We sent it to the printer at the beginning of 2020, before the COVID-19 virus left China, and then I worried it would seem kind of tone deaf to have a book come out in mid-April that professed that laughter was the best medicine.  Learn more about your ad choices.
