Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield

I just... didn't like this. My apologies to my tinder date who gave me this thinking I would enjoy it, but I seriously didn't. The stories are meant to be uplifting and inspirational, heart-warming and wholesome. I found them dull and a bit repetitive, almost patronizing and very, very Christian in a way. There is little to no inspiration to be found in these pages, just inspiration porn, as many stories basically come down to "Look at those physically disabled people living their lives!! What's stopping you?" Now, I recognize that this was written a few decades ago, so it's almost bound to be at least a little bit dated, but it seriously was a pain to get through.
