Rating: Summary: Look for a career; not a job. Review: A job is something that you have to do. A career is something that you love. Rather than trying to find a job to please your family, friends and other people, you should be out there making a career for yourself. This book is an inspiration for those who are seeking for a niche in their career or are looking for a future career. Canfield's Chicken Soup For the Soul at Work really touches the heart and warm the part that is damaged by negative media coverage of the job market.

Rating: Summary: Required reading for all pointy haired bosses Review: A worthy addition to the Chicken Soup for the Soul
line of books. The stories of love and compassion
in our daily work environment are inspiring
and frustrating to those of us who try to do our
best at work but find ourselves butting heads
with people who just don't care.
Rating: Summary: a book worth reading! Review: Canfield again brings us his best, now at work, where, so many times, it is very easy to be at the worst! Canfield brings us the subtle and yet so strong power: well, good, camaraderie, friendship, strenght. I will be trying to contact Jack Canfield so that he allows me to translate his books into Portuguese. My Brazilian countrymen will certainly enjoy this gift!Gilberto Garcia

Rating: Summary: Could use a pinch of Rosemary and spice ... Review: First of all, just to get things off of my chest (and believe you me, I usually LOVE getting everything off of my chest right off the bat!) Item! Jack Canfield is an excellent and gifted motivational writer. Golly, he has motivated me to write a review, right? However, this time around old Jack's soup could use a little salt or herbage to his advice. If you ask anyone where I work, I am always promoting Chicken Soup for the Soul stories however I didn't find these all that courageous or creative. I mean, what is creative or daring about a woman who builds an entire miniature of her office environment in her cubicle using Beanie Babies for each of her coworkers. And what bigger point was Jack trying to point out about the manager who tried to motivate his daily reports by having them act out scenes from "A Room With a View" before they started their shift each day? Kind of lost me this time, Mr Canfield!
Rating: Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK! Review: I love this book very much. I guess you could call it my favorite one. I am 14 years old and deal with a lot of hard things and your books really help me. I have heard stories from it at camps, at school, and at church. Sometimes when something is bothering me I look in there to see if anyone else has this problem and i can see how they handled it. Your book has really helped me through my teens eventhough I am just becoming one. I would recomend that yall get more publicity for your books so that other people can find them and get help like I did. Thank you so much for writting it, It is great. sincerely Blakeley (Mobile, Alabama)
Rating: Summary: Couldn't put this book down Review: I noticed this book at the airport bookstore and picked it up. I couldn't put the book down as I read one touching story after the other. It's a great colletion of stories to inspire us to add "heart" to the workplace. Kudos to all the authors.
Rating: Summary: An endless source of stories that continually inspire Review: I run a leadership programme and I find this book a source of stories that will encourage, inspire, recharge and generally "activate" people. I use my book whenever I sense the attention of the group is flagging, and the stories never fail to get a reaction!
Rating: Summary: Start your day right with some encouraging words and thought Review: I think that all of us at some time or another felt like staying in bed or staying away from our work place. We still showed up under obligation. I think if you read some of the stories and thoughts in this book it will make your day go just a bit easier. Why not start the day with some encouragement and a smile? Afterall, we all do better work when we actually care about what we are doing. I think that this book reminds us not to lose site of why we are doing what we are doing.
