Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People (Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing, LLC, June 2009, 978-1-935096-35-1, $14.95) reminds us that tough times won’t last, but tough people will. Tough People is all about overcoming adversity, pulling together, making do with less, facing challenges, and finding new joys in a simpler life. This new collection shares tales of people who have been laid off, lost their homes, and endured wrenching life changes, but discovered the underlying gifts in their new situations. More time at home with family, creative “staycations,” more satisfying job opportunities, and renewed gratitude for health and life are just a few of the silver linings these survivors have learned to cherish.
I enjoyed reading some of these stories of people overcoming economic crisis because right now there are a whole bunch of families out there right now who are struggling and need hope! This book includes 101 stories about overcoming challenges and 10 bonus stories of faith.
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People should give you hope, inspire you, and help you with facing the challenges of life.

I’m going to be a college student off on my own, my parent’s business is slow so no help there with my other three siblings back home.
I really need the motivation, plus I enjoyed reading CS for the teenage soul 123 and such when I was younger.

Thanks for the giveaway!
Chicken Soup for the Soul books are most inspirational. I would love to give this book to my daughter for inspiration in these tough economic times. Her husband lost his job and time are really tough for them with two children.
I’d love to win this as I have a friend on disability. She’s likely to lose her house this year, can’t afford needed repairs on her car and no longer has medical coverage.
Our family has been going through very hard times, we could use the optimistic boost! I also used to love this series as a kid.
I always fine inspiration in the Chicken Soup books, and this one especially would be helpful right now. It’s been a rough year for a lot of people…
Thank you!
I think everyone can appreciate this book. I would love to read it myself because we have hit some really hard times lately and then pass it along to my mother, who has also fallen on some bad times financially. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I find the Chicken Soup series so uplifting. I have a friend who recently lost someone in a horrific accident and I think this would be something she could read and find solace. Maybe not now but in the future.

My husband is currently laid off and of course it’s very stressful on both of us. I think this book would remind me that we are not the only one’s in this situation and that things will get better.
