About this listen
A five-time Moth GrandSLAM winner and bestselling novelist shows how to tell a great story - and why doing so matters.
Whether we realize it or not, we are always telling stories. On a first date or job interview, at a sales presentation or therapy appointment, with family or friends, we are constantly narrating events and interpreting emotions and actions. In this compelling book, storyteller extraordinaire Matthew Dicks presents wonderfully straightforward and engaging tips and techniques for constructing, telling, and polishing stories that will hold the attention of your audience (no matter how big or small). He shows that anyone can learn to be an appealing storyteller, that everyone has something “storyworthy” to express, and, perhaps most important, that the act of creating and telling a tale is a powerful way of understanding and enhancing your own life.

Now, this eye-opening and accessible guide shows how you can easily create your own personal system for knowledge management, otherwise known as a Second Brain.

Here's a short review: Don't wonder if you should get the book. Get the book.
This book leapt into my top 5
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The book is awesome and most of the stories that was told was awesome, I will have to go back to this book every six months or until I feel like I have this stuff down cold.
While, I’m not a writer I do blogging, and want to tell better stories in my copy.
The main thing I like about this book is its simple to understand their is no 67 steps or check list-
It’s just a clean cut direct path to here’s how to tell better stories and here’s the emotions you want to hit.
Like I said it was a good gotcha, I really enjoyed the book.
The only part I didn’t like or had to listen to again is when you was talking about the word “And” for what ever reason that threw me for a loop.
Oh, and some of the words you used made me smile because you used big words when it’s simpler easier words that’s more common place that the reader would have understood better.
Good job, I would definitely grab your next book.
Hint Hint...
Okay, that was good gotcha!
