About this listen

Don't simply show your data - tell a story with it!

Storytelling with Data teaches you the fundamentals of data visualization and how to communicate effectively with data. You'll discover the power of storytelling and the way to make data a pivotal point in your story. The lessons in this illuminative text are grounded in theory but made accessible through numerous real-world examples - ready for immediate application to your next graph or presentation.

Storytelling is not an inherent skill, especially when it comes to data visualization, and the tools at our disposal don't make it any easier. This book demonstrates how to go beyond conventional tools to reach the root of your data and how to use your data to create an engaging, informative, compelling story. Specifically, you'll learn how to:

  • Understand the importance of context and audience
  • Determine the appropriate type of graph for your situation
  • Recognize and eliminate the clutter clouding your information
  • Direct your audience's attention to the most important parts of your data
  • Think like a designer and utilize concepts of design in data visualization
  • Leverage the power of storytelling to help your message resonate with your audience

Together, the lessons in this book will help you turn your data into high-impact visual stories that stick with your audience. Rid your world of ineffective graphs, one exploding 3D pie chart at a time. There is a story in your data - Storytelling with Data will give you the skills and power to tell it!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Highly Recommend If You Want Better Presentations

I am impressed with this book! I've been looking for tips and tricks to present data. This book does a great job explaining different graphs and charts. It's presented in a way where it's not boring like a textbook. She provides tactics to enhance your storytelling when using data and identifies the important info to highlight. So glad I came across this! This was very well written and narrated!

Love it

It was a bit hard understanding the graphs without the PDFS. But the narrator clearly stated what was on the graph in her PDF such as axis titles, data point labels, colors etc. I actually downloaded the PDF since it was confusing without. At that point the information stuck much better. I am new to data science, and I'm glad this focused on the visual aspects of design and the narrative. It kept things simple for me. I would say this book is a very good beginners guide to working with data visualizations.

broad, informative and easy to understand

very practical and easy to understand for any non-designer such as researchers, engineers, product managers and business people to understand visualization.

audible is probably not the best formate to deliver because it contains a lot of valuable visual examples in case study.
