Ling read

This book has great information about storytelling, it is Ling and tends to have the mind wondering instead of focusing on the info.

Not Gripping, Not Informative Enough

The book itself couldn't capture my attention well...which I think is a serious fault in a book about storytelling. And overall I didn't think it really conveyed enough information on how to tell a story well in a leadership context.

Not appealing.

Ideas all over the map. Lack of focus. After completing the book, no real takeaways

Useless and wastes time stating the obvious

I couldn't get past chapter 3 because the book on storytelling couldn't grab my attention
