National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day is observed worldwide every November 12. This holiday encourages individuals to take care of themselves and find inspiration in the positive stories and experiences of others, reflecting the essence of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series. Created by motivational speakers Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield, the series began with a compilation of 101 inspirational stories and has expanded to include over 275 titles, selling more than 500 million copies globally. Celebrations often involve reading a Chicken Soup for the Soul book, sharing inspiring stories, performing acts of kindness, or enjoying a bowl of warm chicken noodle soup. Participants are also encouraged to post their inspirational stories on social media using the hashtag #ChickenSoupForTheSoulDay. The holiday has been celebrated for more than two decades, promoting personal growth and positivity through storytelling.
