A five-time Moth GrandSLAM champion and bestselling novelist shows how to tell a great story — and just why doing so matters.

Whether we realize it or not, we are usually telling stories. On a first date or job interview, at a product sales presentation or therapy visit, with family members or close friends, we are constantly narrating occasions and interpreting emotions and actions. In this compelling book, storyteller extraordinaire Matthew Dicks presents wonderfully simple and engaging suggestions and techniques for making, telling, and polishing tales that will contain the attention of your audience (no matter what size or small). He demonstrates anyone can learn to be an attractive storyteller, that everyone has something “storyworthy” to express, and, perhaps most important, that the take action of creating and telling a tale is a robust way of understanding and enhancing your own existence.
