    About this audiobook

    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.

      As a guy who grew up in Massachusetts and worked at a McDonald’s, I almost feel like I was cheating - it was like my old manager was sharing these lessons… As a designer some of these techniques are things I have long tried to practice visually. The structure, breakdown and context make for an awesome teaspoon of sugar to help some really nutritious medicine go down!

      4 chapters in, and I am abandoning this one. The book is too much about the storyteller and not enough about storytelling.

      This is excellent. I bought the book a couple of years ago, but was great to listen to during workouts, and having Matthew narrate it himself is awesome!
      I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of performing anything on stage. Even though it is focused on story telling there is plenty of gold for pitches presentations and stand-up comedy.

      A good story teller and some good advice but it took a few hours to get to the useful stuff. It felt about 3 hours to long.

      Both his personality and voice tone grated on more and more the longer the book went.

      I learned so much while listening to this book. Since I wasn’t very familiar with storytelling, I’d never heard of the author before. But now I’m going to listen to every story he has recorded and read all of his books. He’s ridiculously talented.

      I am humbled and in owe to see a master at work. Matthew Dicks shares the craft of storytelling in an easy, but not too easy way. The book gave me tools, hope and encouragement to start practicing and getting better at telling stories.
