Chicken Soup for the Soul: Laughter's Always the Best Medicine: 101 Feel-Good Stories

Storytelling at its funniest! And a much-needed reminder that no matter what ails you, laughter is ALWAYS the best medicine.

If laughter is the best medicine, this book is your prescription. Turn off the news, shut down social media, and spend a few days ignoring current events. Instead, return to the basics—humanity’s ability to laugh at itself. We’ve gathered one hundred great writers to share the mishaps and misadventures of everyday life. There’s no holding back, so prepare for lots of good clean (and not so clean) fun in these true, personal anecdotes. Hear about domestic disasters, words that came out wrong, mistaken identity, wedding snafus, technology trauma, the honesty of kids, family foibles, wardrobe malfunctions, pranks and capers, animal antics, and so much more. No one is safe in these pages—from family members to friends and colleagues—experiencing those most embarrassing, ridiculous, and surprising moments that afflict us all from time to time! Chicken Soup for the Soul books are 100% made in the USA and each book includes stories from as diverse a group of writers as possible.
