Inspiring and motivating movie.

Inspiring and motivating movie. What a beautiful documentary-style movie. So many good life lesson tid bits. Very uplifting. Food for the soul. Canfield is so soothing when he speaks. I enjoyed the metaphysics mixed in with truisms. Everyone can get something out of this to improve their lives, whether it's new ideas or reminders.

it really is the best medicine for the soul

An inspiring experience provided by a person with a brilliant way of looking at life and who inspires you and encourages you to want to achieve things you thought impossible, the message you get from Jack Canfield is really a chicken soup for the soul since it makes that your soul improves and as a result your body and your mind will feel that improvement. totally recommended

Like a chiropractic adjustment for your soul.

What a refreshing story. I haven't read Jack's books, but now I can understand why this man has become so successful. Watching this film was like getting a chiropractic adjustment for my spirit! It reminds me of some of the docs I've watched about JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter manuscript was rejected by 12 publishers before the 13th picked it up. At that point, she was told to initial her first and middle name, so that readers wouldn't know she's a woman. Also, she was warned that she'll "never make money in children's books." She believed in the vision, though, and so did Jack with his Chicken Soup for the Soul! This is very encouraging. Nice work.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this documentary.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this documentary. I have read many of the Chicken Soup books yet did not know very much about the author behind them. His story is insightful and inspiring. This documentary does a wonderful job at highlighting his struggles and overall determination to succeed. The messages in his books become more powerful after watching this film. Well done!

Really interesting!

I remember the book coming out many years ago. I used to work in mental health and this was an influential book then - one I dipped into but did not get to read fully, mainly because of the pressure of my training at the time, and it was not on the reading list I had to study! I was therefore really please to see this documentary on Jack Canfield - it explains much of his philosophy and in a lazy was I liked the concepts he presents being in a movie and being presented in this way. Certainly a well made and very interesting film that is worth watching.

This documentary is about Jack Canfield the man behind the Chicken Soup books. This especially hit home with me as I am working towards being an entrepreneur and he really gives some inspired thoughts as an amazing motivational speaker. I will be recommending this to everyone I know, such an great and moving film.

Great documentary for a great man

Most people have the capability of becoming successful but seldom they are able to achieve it. Their lack of success may be due to a lack of motivation. That's where Jack Canfield can come in to change their lives. Because he is one of the best people who is well capable of bringing the best out of a person. So, a documentary showcasing his methods of changing lives was due for a long time. Luckily, this wasn't just another documentary for the sake of it. It was made with great care to showcase his life in a manner which this great man deserved.
