One of America's leading experts in the development of human potential and personal effectiveness, Jack Canfield is both a dynamic and entertaining speaker and a highly sought after trainer with a wonderful ability to inform and inspire audiences toward increased levels of self-esteem and peak performance. His powerful talks and results-oriented seminars on achievement, motivation, personal power, and the psychology of success bring about immediate changes and long-term growth in all kinds of individuals and groups.
 
His most recent book releases are The New York Times #1 Best-sellers-Chicken Soup for the Soul: 101 Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirit- currently with 31 books in the series and 90 million copies in print, with several more titles in the works.

Jack's other great books and programs are Dare to Win, a popular self-help book and The Aladdin Factor; How to Ask For and Get Everything You Want. His highly acclaimed, video-based training for corporations - STAR: Success Through Action and Responsibility which he originally developed for New England Telephone/ NYNEX, is presently being used by several fortune 500 companies around the world.
 
As a result of his expertise in the self-esteem field, Jack is involved in developing self-esteem and optimum performance training programs for several unusual populations including prisoners in the California corrections system, welfare recipients in California's Workfare Program, and inner city youth-at-risk. Over 500,000 people have experienced and benefited from his GOALS training for at risk populations.
 
Jack has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, The Caryl and Marilyn Show, Talk Soup, The Today Show, CBS Evening News, The NBC Evening News, 20/ 20 and the BBC, as well as hundreds of local and cable talk shows and radio shows.
