I usually like to Chicken Soup stories a little more than these, and perhaps they would have had more meaning to me if I had been a mother. These are very short readings for every day that have been mostly taken from the other Chicken Soup books in one form or another.

Chắc do ko hợp thời điểm hay sao, sách vẫn gồm nhiều câu chuyện nhỏ truyền cảm hứng; tuy nhiên mình thấy cuốn này hơi...nhạt. Các câu chuyện ko quá deep or touching, hơi thất vọng chút. M đã skip nhiều để cố gắng tìm kiếm câu chuyện hay nhất; nhưng ko ra.
Nhìn chung là nhạt.

Quà tặng tinh thần dành cho phụ nữ_Chicken Soup for the soul (Jack Caufield & Mark Victor Hansen) ⭐
Bản thân cuốn sách là thể loại súp gà và cũng không có nội dung gì hay ho thậm chí nhàm chán, nội dung tôi nghĩ là dành cho những người phụ nữ nhưng chất lượng nội dung quá nhảm nhí.
