About this listen

"Come for the engrossing content, and stay for the lessons that might just change how you talk, write, and lead.”—Adam Grant
Learn how to take any story and make it perfect—from storytelling expert Karen Eber, whose popular TED Talk on the subject continues to be a source of inspiration for millions.
What makes a story perfect? How do you tell the perfect story for any occasion?
We live in a story world. Stories are a memorable and engaging way to differentiate yourself, build connection and trust, create new thinking, bring meaning to data, and even influence decision-making. But how do you turn a good story into a great story that informs, influences, and inspires?
In The Perfect Story, Karen Eber—leadership consultant, professional keynote storyteller, and TED speaker—shares the science of storytelling to teach you to:
- Leverage the Five Factory Settings of the Brain to hack the art of storytelling
- Build a toolkit of endless story ideas
- Define the audience for your story
- Apply a memorable story structure
- Engage senses and emotions
- Tell stories with data
- Avoid common storytelling mistakes
- Use your body to tell dynamic stories
- Ensure your story doesn't manipulate
- Navigate and embrace the vulnerability of storytelling
Without relying on complicated models or one-size-fits-all prescriptions, this book makes storytelling accessible with practical and impactful steps for anyone to tell the perfect story for any occasion.
Through interview vignettes, The Perfect Story also shares approaches from different storytellers, including the Sundance Institute cofounder, an executive producer of The Moth, the former creative director at Pixar, the TED Radio Hour podcast host, and many more.
Whether you are leading a team, giving a presentation, hosting a podcast, selling a product or service, interviewing for a job, or giving a toast at a wedding, The Perfect Story will help you take your stories and make them perfect.
Images and checklists are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Story
We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

Many of us dread having to convey our ideas to others, often feeling ill-equipped, anxious, and awkward. Public speaking experts help by focusing on planned communication experiences such as slide presentations, pitches, or formal talks. Yet, most of our professional and personal communication occurs in spontaneous situations that creep up on us and all too often leave us flustered and stumbling for words. Stanford lecturer, podcast host, and communication expert Matt Abrahams provides tangible, actionable skills to help even the most anxious of speakers succeed when speaking spontaneously.

Story
Have you ever found yourself wondering “Why do I want more than I have?” Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis and one of the world’s leading experts on behavior change, shows that the problem isn’t you. The problem is your scarcity mindset, left over from our ancient ancestors. They had to constantly seek and consume to survive because vital survival tools like food, material goods, information, and power were scarce and hard to find. But with our modern ability to easily fulfill our ancient desire for more, our hardwired “scarcity brain” is now backfiring.

As David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.” And yet we humans don’t do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them?

We used to think of failure as the opposite of success. Now, we’re often torn between two “failure cultures”: one that says to avoid failure at all costs, the other that says fail fast, fail often. The trouble is that both approaches lack the crucial distinctions to help us separate good failure from bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well. After decades of award-winning research, Amy Edmondson is here to upend our understanding of failure and make it work for us. In Right Kind of Wrong, Edmondson provides the framework to think, discuss, and practice failure wisely.

You might believe you’re thinking clearly in the moments that matter most. But in all likelihood, when the pressure is on, you won’t be thinking at all. And your subsequent actions will inevitably move you further from the results you ultimately seek—love, belonging, success, wealth, victory. According to Farnam Street founder Shane Parrish, we must get better at recognizing these opportunities for what they are, and deploying our cognitive ability in order to achieve the life we want.

If you asked the ancient stoic philosophers how to live a good life, they’d answer you in a single word: Areté. We translate Areté as “virtue” or “excellence” but the word has a deeper meaning—something closer to being your best self moment to moment to moment.

Why have history's greatest minds - from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson along with today's top performers, from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities - embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

The Title says it all; it's perfect.
Karen Eber is the best kind of teacher: She shows, she demonstrates, and she explains. There are many great examples of storytelling as well as specific instructions and advice about what to consider when crafting a story to tell in a professional setting.
The book is well narrated and includes a PDF with all the illustrations mentioned in the book.
Once you've listened to it once, and then a second time (it's that good!), you can subscribe to Karen Eber's newsletter "Brain Food" (kareneber.com/blog) and get more great storytelling advice!

A Masterpiece in Storytelling Mastery!
I have just experienced the audiobook version of "The Perfect Story" by Karen Eber, and I must say, the narration is nothing short of exceptional. It breathed life into the already brilliant content, making it a listening experience I won't forget.
The narrator's voice was not only engaging but also perfectly aligned with the book's theme. Their tone, pacing, and intonation brought out the depth of Karen Eber's insights, making the journey through the world of storytelling truly immersive.
Eber's book, "The Perfect Story," is a masterpiece in storytelling, and the narrator did an outstanding job of conveying its wisdom and practicality through their narration. It felt like I was being guided by a seasoned storyteller, which added a layer of authenticity to the audiobook.
What I appreciate most about this audiobook is its ability to captivate the listener. The narrator's voice kept me hooked from start to finish, and I found myself eagerly absorbing each chapter's knowledge and advice. It's a testament to both Eber's writing and the narrator's skill.
"The Perfect Story" not only teaches the art and science of storytelling but also provides actionable steps that anyone can apply. The narrator's clear and articulate delivery ensured that these steps were easy to understand and implement. Whether you're a novice or an experienced storyteller, this audiobook is a valuable resource.
In addition to the content itself, the audiobook includes interviews with accomplished storytellers, which further enrich the listening experience. Hearing their voices and insights added a personal touch that enhanced the book's overall impact.
In conclusion, "The Perfect Story" in audiobook format is a gem. If you're looking to elevate your storytelling skills, I highly recommend giving it a listen. The combination of Karen Eber's expertise and the superb narration makes it an audiobook that not only informs but also entertains. It's a journey through the art of storytelling that you won't want to miss.

One of the best books on storytelling by far
I consider myself a pretty good storyteller and have read several books on the topic, even taken courses.
This is a super engaging listen where Karen draws you in with real life examples. She inspired me to approach my storytelling differently and try new things.
The parts that I know a lot about I just skip to the end of the chapter where you will hear from other master storytellers.
I will use this book and the included PDF in my
Job as a content advisor- and creator, as well as personal work.
Listen to this book and start telling your stories in new and engaging ways!

Making storytelling accessible for everyone!
Storytelling is often underrated and so many of us consider it an art that only a few of us possess. We tend to have a limited view of its value, as entertainment that the best dinner guests have. The truth is that good storytelling is an art and a skill, and it’s what the best leaders, teachers, coaches, mentors, and parents use to communicate effectively. The good news is that Karen makes storytelling accessible for all of us, no matter your role or experience. Whether you’re giving a presentation, teaching a class, giving a speech or toast, anyone can learn how to craft their stories perfectly.
