Jack Canfield

Jack Canfield is a personal-development author and speaker who combines practical success principles with short accounts of lived experience. His role in creating the Chicken Soup for the Soul series shaped an anthology model in which many voices address a shared stage of life. Chicken Soup for the College Soul Inspiring and Humorous Stories about College uses that format to explore independence, friendship, pressure, and adjustment without turning every experience into the same lesson.

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II 101 More Stories of Life, Love and Learning and Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul III More Stories of Life, Love and Learning widen the emotional range of the teenage collections. Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Love & Friendship focuses on relationships. The numbered Teenage Soul volumes display the series at its broadest, whereas Tough Stuff narrows the lens to a more concentrated theme.
