Many of you will remember the 1993 best-selling book of inspirational stories, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and its bite-sized, sappy triumphs of the human spirit. But shining a modern light on this book today, the collection hits a little bit differently. For part one of this two-part series, I tell podcaster Sarah Marshall of You’re Wrong About the history of this iconic text and read her some of its most batshit stories, and together we discuss their confusing and downright damaging messages. In part two, I’ll tell Sarah about the two motivational wealth coaches behind Chicken Soup for the Soul and the shocking controversies facing the company today. Throughout, we’ll discuss neoliberal mysticism and the prosperity gospel manifestation mindset of not only Chicken Soup for the Soul, but our longterm American culture as well.<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KMk34XY5dsvVJjAoD2mQUVHYU_Ib6COz6jcGH5uJWDY/edit?gid=439359427#gid=439359427">Resources</a> for LA residents affected by the firesPlaces to Donate and Ways to Help:<a href="https://mutualaidla.org/">LA Mutual Aid</a><a href="https://www.cafirefoundation.org/">California Fire Foundation</a><a href="https://www.pledge.to/ccfwildfirerelieffund">California Community Foundation</a><a href="https://linktr.ee/dreamcenter">Dream Center</a><a href="https://www.caninerescue.club/foster">Canine Rescue Center</a>Get tickets to our live show <a href="https://linktr.ee/amassiveseance">A Massive Seance</a> with You're Wrong About<a href="https://www.patreon.com/americanhysteria">Become a Patron</a> to support our show and get early ad-free episodes and bonus contentOr subscribe to American Hysteria on <a href="https://apple.co/3R9xBJe">Apple Podcasts</a>Producer and Editor: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mirandatheswampmonster">Miranda Zickler</a>Associate Producer: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rileymsmith96">Riley Swedelius-Smith</a>Hosted by Chelsey Weber-Smith Learn more about your ad choices.
