"Buzzy Jackson is dismayed by "inspirational" books. Not so much because they exist, but because she "never encountered a single one that spoke directly to those of us with a secular outlook." ... [O]n going to the bookstore, she found a void. If Chicken Soup for the Soulless didn't exist, would it be necessary to invent it? Yes, apparently.Jackson seems to have scoured an extensive book collection—or possibly Wikiquote—for timeless wisdom on thirty-three alphabetical subjects, from "advice" to "work.""
