chicken soup for the soul 

1. A popular book series for dimwits and sheeple, which consist of a collection of so called "inspirational" mushy, touchy-feely stories which sheeple like to buy into so they feel uplifted.

The first published book of the series was published by the wonderful and illustrious self-made millionaires, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. They make hundreds of thousands of dollars through the occupation of motivational speaking, which is basically the task of making losers feel better about themselves with one in a million positive results for anyone involved.

2. Currently you can see the authors of this actually soulless work, such as Mark Victor Hansen, on cable tv infomercials pandering pyramid schemes and work-at-home ripoff scams regularly at about 3pm.

Likely to the very most financially desperate and vulnerable people in society.
Middle Aged Lady:
"Think I'll buy this great uplifting book. The last 'chicken soup for the soul' one was so uplifting."
Me: "Please don't buy that empty crud. The authors are soulless shills playing you for a fool, and laugh at you for being a sucker."

2. "Awwww... this story about the cripple who triumphed over his disability almost makes me forget that it was published by a bunch of dicks, who make a living taking advantage of 1000s of people's emotions and low self esteem."
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
