Chicken Soup For The Dog - Amy Newmark - 10 Keys To Happiness
Amy Newmark is the bestselling author, editor-in-chief, and publisher of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series. Since 2008, she has published more than 182 new books, most of them national bestsellers in the U.S. and Canada, more than doubling the number of Chicken Soup for the Soul titles in print today. She is also the author of Simply Happy, a crash course in Chicken Soup for the Soul advice and wisdom that is filled with easy-to-implement, practical tips for enjoying a better life.
Amy is credited with revitalizing the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand, which has been a publishing industry phenomenon since the first book came out in 1993. By compiling inspirational and aspirational true stories curated from ordinary people who have had extraordinary experiences, Amy has kept the twenty-eight-year-old Chicken Soup for the Soul brand fresh and relevant.
Amy graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University where she majored in Portuguese and minored in French. She then embarked on a three-decade career as a Wall Street analyst, a hedge fund manager, and a corporate executive in the technology field. She is a Chartered Financial Analyst.
Her return to literary pursuits was inevitable, as her honors thesis in college involved traveling throughout Brazil’s impoverished northeast region, collecting stories from regular people. She is delighted to have come full circle in her writing career—from collecting stories “from the people” in Brazil as a twenty-year-old to, three decades later, collecting stories “from the people” for Chicken Soup for the Soul.
When Amy and her husband Bill, the CEO of Chicken Soup for the Soul, are not working, they are visiting their four grown children and their grandchildren.

Amy and I go over the ten keys to happiness below:
Count Your Blessings – by using the power of gratitude
Free Yourself with Forgiveness – by putting the past in the past
Help Someone Else – to make a difference and feel empowered
Have Less Stuff – to find the joy in decluttering their homes
Think Positive – by changing their thoughts and thus their worlds
Make Me Time – by carving out time and making themselves a priority
Step Outside Your Comfort Zone – by trying new things & facing their fears
Be Yourself – by discovering the unique superpower that only they have
Pursue Your Passion – to discover excitement and purpose again
Get Outside in Nature – to gain some perspective of the larger world
