Jack Canfield (born 1944) is an American author, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur best known as the co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series—a publishing phenomenon that has grown to more than 250 titles, 500 million copies in print, and translations in over 40 languages. What began as a collection of uplifting true stories became one of the most successful book franchises in history, touching the lives of readers in virtually every country on earth and establishing Canfield as one of the most influential voices in personal development.
Building on that foundation, Canfield partnered with Janet Switzer to publish The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, a comprehensive roadmap distilling the core strategies used by top achievers across every field. A Harvard graduate with a master's degree in psychological education, Canfield brings both academic depth and real-world practicality to his teachings on self-esteem, peak performance, goal achievement, and the psychology of success.
As a valued author in the Nightingale-Conant library, Jack Canfield's audio programs deliver his time-tested success strategies in an engaging, story-rich format that empowers listeners to set bolder goals, break through self-imposed limitations, and create the extraordinary life they deserve.
