Technology Is Not Your Friend

from Chicken Soup for the Soul with Amy Newmark · host Author, editor and publisher Amy Newmark shares inspirational stories from the iconic book series.

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m excited to share more stories with you from our latest humor book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: I Can’t Stop Laughing. This book is such a great respite from all the news out there that we don’t want to hear or see or read. Instead, you can spend a few hours, or even just a few minutes a day, with some great funny stories in which people don’t hold back. They share their most embarrassing stories or tell those famous ones about their friends or family members. We had thousands of submissions for this book, and if the stories made us laugh they became contenders for the 101 spots in the book. What we looked for was variety, and we got it. And what I particularly love is when people are telling on themselves. That’s what we’ve got in today’s episode, which is called “Technology Is Not Your Friend.” You’ll hear why in a moment.
