52+ Good News Stories — Hope in a complex world

52+ Good News Stories is a delightful treasure trove of uplifting happenings that will warm your heart and brighten your day! This vibrant collection showcases the incredible good news making waves both near and far, reminding us that positivity is truly a universal language.

Born from the beloved blog “Good News Stories” by Chris Snyder, this book is a beacon of hope that proves every day is a chance to spread a little cheer. So, let’s dive into these heartwarming tales and celebrate the fact that goodness is not just a rare gem, but a sparkling daily occurrence. After all, who wouldn’t want to be part of the good news movement?

There are purposely 52 stories in 52+ Good News Stories plus a bonus or two. Perhaps you’ll opt to read one a week, or wander through it and pick and choose. Many of the chapters contain several good news stories packed into one! People read and follow good news simply because it makes them feel better. Research also shows that good news makes people act better, and be more positive, productive and optimistic. Optimists look for opportunities, and according to motivational speaker Brian Tracy, optimism is the one quality more associated with success and happiness than any other.

There is indeed plenty of bad news in our world, and we all must continue working diligently and continually to address our many challenges, but there is already much good being done. Let’s focus more on the good news and build on it. Good news creates hope.

“Chris Snyder is that rare individual who sees the best at the most difficult moments. He looks at the world and sees the unique, the promising, and the positive. When reading his stories, one shares the excitement and optimism with which he experiences our world. Chris’ inspiration comes from others who “focus on solutions, not problems”. He has the same focus, and his blogs lead us forward to solutions and hope. What a wonderful collection of stories.” — Dr. John English, OC, author, historian, academic politician, organization leader, volunteer, Official Biographer of Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau, and past director, The Bill Graham Centre and Centre for International Governance Innovation.
