5 Stars This book saved me!
This book saved me from making big mistakes in my college decisions. I was majoring in things I hated only because it would mean I would be financially secure when I am truly passionate about art. The author inspires you and gets you going. He gave me the courage to do what I love and make money. That is real success.

This book should be required reading for all high school students so they can make the right choices first without wasting years of frustration about choosing the right major.

5 Stars AMAZING!
I read this book after getting it for free at a conference that Patrick spoke at, and I have never enjoyed a book like I did this one. It is very helpful in being successful, and I think I learned more from this book after reading it in one day than I learned all semester! Once I opened the book, I couldn’t put it down!

5 Stars MUST READ FOR ALL !!
If you have already made it, then pass it on. Fed up at my possibilities at age 50 and fed up with the system I was introduced in my college years, I have spent thousands of dollars in the past couple of years for the information in this book. This is an absolute MUST READ for every person stuck in a dead end rut, as well as the young person thinking about life after high school. All the answers are here for the proper mind set, which is tantamount for harnessing passion for life after high school. This author has it all together in terms of offering proper advice speaking to passion and not academics!! I can’t say enough about how refreshing this read is………Go for all he has to share. So many websites and phone referrals..get your highlighter out. You will have plenty of action to follow up on…….FABULOUS book for the young person and reiteration for the already entrepreneur……GREAT BOOK! It will not disappoint!

5 Stars Very helpful useful tool!
Bought for my daughter. She loves it. Answered a lot of questions and gave her a lot of great ideas of things she didn’t even think of. She read the whole book and will keep it to refer to.

3 Stars Eh, it’s ok
The book has some commonsense advice to follow, but it’s a little too anecdotal and the cultural references are about 10 years too old, as well as the ghastly cover with the picture of the ‘hip young multicultural people’ who are appear to be a lesbian couple, a token black girl, and two reasonably normal looking guys, all of whom are unfortunately dressed exceedingly badly. And Patrick Combs could at least have put a nice atmospheric black and white picture of himself on the back in profile, rather than take a front-on picture that was unflattering to his Goldie Hawn ears.

4 Stars Enjoyable reading; great to read aloud to your husband
I enjoyed the stories in Chicken Soup for the Father’s Soul. Some make you laugh and some come pretty close to making you cry. I bought the book because I enjoy reading out loud to my husband and though it’s not a book he would buy for himself, I thought it was one he would like. He did. If you are looking for a “feel good” book for the dad in your life, you can’t go wrong with this book. Another great book for dads is 15 Reasons I Love My Dad. It’s a fill-in-the-blank book that you fill with loving words and pictures. With Father’s Day just around the corner, both of these books are guaranteed to please.

5 Stars Wonderful reading
I picked up “Chicken Soup for the Father’s Soul” in an airport bookshop as I departed for a four-day business trip. At the time I traveled very frequently, and I had planned to read a story only occasionally, saving them for those times when my thoughts wandered upon my two sons at home and refused to be redirected elsewhere. However, I found myself reading story after story, and by the time I had returned home, I had finished the book and was giving some of the stories a second read.

In the enclosed quarters of an airplane cabin, I found myself unsuccessfully struggling to contain my laughter, nonchalantly wiping tears from my eyes, and silently reflecting upon my own relationships as father and son.

Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy sometime. These stories will move you.

4 Stars Encouragement for fathers of all ages
I decided to buy my oldest son a copy of “Chicken Soup for the Father’s Soul” for Fathers Day. I like to find thoughtful gifts for my children…the amount of money that I spend on a gift is not as important as the thought behind it. I was pleased with the variety of the short stories in the book. I think a busy man like my son is much more likely to read a couple of short stories at a time, and I like to think he would be getting some positive encouragement at the same time. He is a great father, and I love him very much.

5 Stars Remembering
This bookis great for any son or father to read and make them realize why their sons or fathers did things they did and maybe still do. It will have you smiling, laughing, and also crying. I have many Chicken Soup books and I rate this a a tie with The Veterans Soul book. Read it and enjoy.

1 Stars Sappy and overly religious
An earlier reviewer was correct: This is story after story about immature fathers who come to the “big realization” that they actually need to be good fathers. And we’re supposed to find this inspiring?

In addition, perfectly good stories are ruined by bizarre, out-of-the-blue religious non sequiturs such as “God was remodeling my son.” Huh? As if the father has nothing to do with helping his son. One guy prays to God that his son will catch a fish. Yeah, people are starving in Africa, but God’s going to make sure this kid catches a fish. Uh huh.

In another case, a father “asked the Lord to help back off a little” when a son is benched. Does he ask the Lord to help him go to the bathroom, too? Sheesh. There’s something pathetic about fathers who take no responsibility for their actions–whether admirable actions or immature actions.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised about the pervavise religious content when authors include evangelists James Robinson and Chuck Swindoll.

If you want to hear God mentioned every 3 pages and want to read about immature fathers, this is the sappy book for you.
