Storyworthy

Engage, Teach, Persuade, and Change Your Life Through the Power of Storytelling

De: Matthew Dicks, Dan Kennedy - foreword

Narrado por: Matthew Dicks, John Glouchevitch

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.

Engaging

I have lead a pretty vanilla life. I can only imagine right now that I have only a few stories. I hope that doing Homework for Life and the other exercises prove me wrong! This book is funny, engaging, and I soaked in as much as I could. I have already altered the way I engage in conversation, and I hope that I will become easier to listen to, and more inspiring to people through these techniques. Cheers to Matthew Dicks. I also don’t write reviews very often at all.

interesting and informative

This book is good from the beginning to the end. My personal favorites were the story breaks when the author pauses in his instruction to demonstrate how to tell a great story. It's one thing to teach how to do something. It's another to show how it's done. I'm grateful for how much effort the author put into producing an interesting and informative book.

Thank you!

This was a great audible! I learned so much about the power of storytelling! Thank you! It was highly engaging! Matthew has a great energetic voice!

Outstanding

Impressive audiobook on the skill of storytelling. this was one of the best I have purchased and knew nothing about the author. I loved this whole audio book.

Useful and entertaining

Practical tips and engaging stories. Already using his advice. Excellent. Couldn’t recommend more for writers and speakers.

Life changing

I will never tell a story the same or look at life moments the same, after consuming this content!

Keep Listening

I almost returned this title, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I wanted something that corellated with novel crafting. This book mainly discussed storytelling from the perspective of a stand-up speaker, who tells true stories.

The author has written novels, but does not touch on this in his book. This book goes much deeper than any medium of storytelling; it goes to the heart of the craft, and does give fresh out-of-the-box examples you use on any medium of fiction. highly recommend

Great book! On my second time through!

I’ve been writing a book for 25 years and I just couldn’t figure out how to pull it together. I believe with the tools in this book, I will finally be able to finish it. Thank you!!!

Great Resource

Lots of really nice tips for storytelling. I could see myself using a lot of these techniques right away. I liked the mix of tips and actual stories that were used to illustrate the concepts. Great resource!

Great tips

It is clear that the author is well-versed in storytelling and he provided wonderful tips that I will try to use. Overall very good experience. The only issue that I had was that I sometimes thought my app replayed a certain part because the exact same thing would be said, and changed or added at the end of it. Took some getting used to this feeling of deja-vu.
