Edited by Jack Canfield and Gay Hendricks

About the Anthology
There’s nothing better than a book you can’t put down- or better yet, a book you’ll never forget. This book puts the power of transformational reading into your hands. Jack Canfield, co-creator of the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series, and self-actualization pioneer Gay Hendricks have invited notable people to share personal stories of books that changed their lives.

From Booklist
What makes this especially intriguing reading is not only the diversity of titles cited as life altering and life affirming but also the instantaneously visceral reactions recounted by the readers. Not so much about the books themselves, but more about the absolutely magical power of the written word, this must-read is sure to provide inspiration, motivation, and a springboard for discussion among book people and book clubs everywhere.

Jackie's Essay:
In this compilation by Jack Canfield of Chicken Soup fame, people from neighborhood heroes to nationally famous inventors talk about the book that made the biggest impression on their lives. I shared mine.
