Summary
Storytelling acts as a fantastic teaching tool that imparts life lessons to people of all ages. Storytelling has proved its durability and importance beyond any shadow of a doubt, beginning with the dawn of civilization and continuing in this era of almost immediate access to all knowledge. It has influenced our world in a number of ways, some of which are boringly simple to see and understand, and some of which remain more mysterious and enigmatic in meaning.
The value storytelling retains inspiration as a source and as a teaching method makes it possess the most important heritage of humanity. Storytelling is about tales. It's about using stories to reach the audience or clarifying something more - naturally, images, videos, and video help to tell a good story, too. Stories have also been a form of conveying. They'd tell each other stories before the people knew how to write.
It is much easier to recall the stories than plain details. Stories are also entertaining; they stimulate the imagination. That is why parents tell stories to their kids. And we enjoy watching movies and reading books. We enjoy the stories; we are story-addicted. Stories inspire and motivate. Stories are making us alive, and so are brands.
This brings brands back to earth as they are honest and genuine, which lets customers engage with them and the people behind them. Tapping into the feelings of people and highlighting the positive as well as the negative is how stories inspire and empower and ultimately push action.
In this audiobook, we will be looking at the following in details:
- Storytelling: aims and applications
- The 5Ws - when, where, what, who, why for good storytelling
- Ways to make your story interesting and believable
- The power of details
- Persuasion techniques
- Empathic communication
- Storytelling in everyday social life
- Business storytelling
Stories put people together in a world separated by a multitude of issues and build a sense of community. Notwithstanding our language, culture, political preferences, or ethnicity, stories bind us through how we feel and react to them. Stories make us human.

Stay in the moment.
Show don’t tell. Stay in the moment. Storytelling makes brightens business and personal lives. The chapter on eulogies reminded me of one story told at my friend’s funeral.

A great listen!
A great listen! If you have ever written a grant, spoken in public, taught a class or even just tried to motivate your kids to clean their room, then you understand the importance of conveying thoughts by flung beyond the simple relaying of facts.

not to be afraid of the "public"...
in work, in life, with friends, with anyone you don't even know... knowing how to communicate is the basis of any relationship. very interesting and instructive, for those unfamiliar with the subject. +++ Recommended!!

Good but not enough instruction
The book is good. There is no doubting the value of storytelling. IMHO, Hall does a wonderful job highlighting the importance and nuances of storytelling but falls short on arming the reader with unique, insightful DIY instructions. My main concerns: 1. too much emphasis on ‘why storytelling.’ We already bought the (audio)book, no need to discuss that 2 hours in. 2. Not enough instruction. Hall admits she doesn’t like writing a How To chapter, and it shows. Much of the book is story examples instead of How To material. She tells stories about other great storytellers but never dissects their work.

Story-telling is really an effective strategy.
Conveying technical stuff in the form of story-telling is really an effective strategy. The author has done a great job in laying out example presentation situations in front of small and large audiences in a variety of contexts.

This is a very practical audio book. It not only states the value of telling "stories" in a business environment, but gives practical advice as to how to do it. Unlike some other self-help audio books.
