Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People

101 Stories about Overcoming the Economic Crisis and Other Challenges

Tough times won’t last, but tough people will. Many people have lost money and many are losing their jobs, homes, or at least making cutbacks. Many others have faced life-changing natural disasters, such as hurricanes and fires, as well as health and family difficulties.  Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People is all about overcoming adversity, pulling together, making do with less, facing challenges, and finding new joys in a simpler life.  The stories in this book will remind us that we are all going through tough times but we are tough people and we will survive.

    My favorite book is Chicken Soup for the Sister’s Soul. It’s my favorite because I wrote one of the stories in the book.

    I will say that within the tough times of my life there is a much higher being calling the shots; then with the recession; haven’t we all learned that we have too mnay possessions that weight us down for excessive baggage in life. We all have more than meets our needs of each fellow man.
