Uplifting Stories: True Tales to Inspire You to Take Action Kindle Edition

by Ione Butler (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (27)
This collection of inspirational narratives, curated by the popular founder of Uplifting Content,is sure to change your perspective—and maybe even restore your faith in humanity.

If you can’t bear to watch the news lately, you’re not alone. Luckily, Ione Butler is here to offer you an alternative—and maybe even restore your faith in humanity. As the founder of Uplifting Content, a social media platform followed by over 1.4 million people, she has interviewed some of the most inspiring people in the world. Here, she shares their remarkable stories and the lessons they’ve learned to help you through life’s many challenges.

Among the amazing folks you’ll meet is Kyle Maynard, a motivational speaker and the first quadruple amputee to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro without the aid of prosthetics—thanks to his “no excuses” attitude. You’ll also meet Destiny Watford, a high school student whose passionate activism helped save her town, once dubbed “the most polluted zip code in America,” and Kouhyar Mostashfi and Greg Smith, two men from Ohio with completely opposing political views who have done the seemingly impossible and set aside their differences to become great friends. At the end of each story, you’ll also find exercises to help you take action in your own life—whether by asking deeper questions about what’s important to you, forging new connections and nurturing existing relationships, or reflecting on the contributions you wish to make in the world.

The stories explore themes like human connection, service to others, and the pursuit of passion. Butler, who struggled with depression herself, firmly believes that focusing on the good in the world helped bring her back from the brink. Uplifting Stories reminds you that the world is still full of great people—even if their voices sometimes get lost in the noise.

Amazing read! Highly recommend to everyone!
5 out of 5 stars
Amazing read! Highly recommend to everyone!
LOOOOVE love love this book! There's so much negativity in the news, especially this year. Reading Uplifting Stories has been helpful in bringing more positivity into my life. It's very easy to read because each story is less than 10 pages long. This book is not only a book that makes you feel good, it guides you to intentionally bring goodness, love, and positivity into the real world and with the people around you. I love how there are action steps at the end of each chapter. Even after the first chapter, which recommended to have an open-minded conversation about politics or any other issue with someone you may disagree with. I took this action to have a discussion with my mom. She was really grateful that we didn't have to argue about who's right or wrong but simply sharing our ideas. I would recommend this book for everyone and anyone who needs a little uplifting in their life.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The right stories for our times
    Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2020
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    We are living in interesting times - 2020 will be talked about for years to come, and while we pray it ultimately proves to be the hard catalyst we needed for positive change - right now we just need to get through it.

    And that is where Ione Butler’s book - Uplifting Stories glides to the rescue. I love how each of these tales not only proves the resilience of the human condition but our ability to find joy and happiness in the most unlikely circumstances.

    It's why I also love their website Uplifting Content, it is a happy rainbow raft to cling to as we drift towards an optimistic future.

    Thank you for gathering all these tales and personal exercises Ms Butler - in seeing how other people learn to thrive, I'm able to find own way to doing just that!

    5.0 out of 5 stars These Stories Really ARE Uplifting!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2020
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I might be a little biased here, because Matthew Christian is a dear and personal friend of mine. You probably know of him - his video chronicling the evening that he sat his Mom down at the kitchen table and came out to her went viral several times. And trust me, his Mama IS that sweet and kind and loving in real life, and Matthew is as sweet and kind and loving as well. That video was not staged - it was true and raw. In this book, you will learn the story behind the video - it's a must-read. The accompanying stories are as uplifting as Matthew's. A must-have on everyone's bookshelf, especially during these most trying times of 2020.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Allowed me to decompress
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2020
    Format: Paperback
    I picked up this book after quite some time spent pouring over vitriolic back-and-forths between people of stridently opposite political views on social media. I turned off all but a reading lamp and put down the phone. I feel as though my blood pressure has dropped. Unlike in my youth, I now feel under constant pressure to both pick a side in every argument and demonize 'the other'. The stories of this book are an antidote to the tribal instincts in us all. There is a better way that does not involve branding other countrymen 'the enemy'. The people in this book have figured that out. Uplifting Stories allowed me to decompress and also remind myself of people's natural inclination is to be kind.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Will make you look at live in a positive matter.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2020
    Format: Paperback
    The stories in this remarkable book are about the best in humanity. Our desire for connection with others, our determination to pursue dreams, and our generosity in serving others or a greater good of some kind. The author offers these stories as a model for our higher angels to follow, a remedy for the pernicious news and argumentative social climate that confront us every day. By focusing on the good, we can learn the joy of moving ahead with life rather than feeling immobilized. This book changed the way I look at life and people. It will give you a positive outlook on everyday things. A must read.
