Publisher's Summary

A story is evidence of a transformation. We write of what has transformed us; what we write will transform others. Stories build the human collective world because they encode the two challenges each of us will face again and again: the challenge of facing the unknown and emerging anew; and the challenge of understanding each other.

To live is hard. To write is hard. The difficulty of writing is tied to the difficulty of living. The difficulty of remaining coherent while staying in motion. In stories, we face the unknown. But storytelling itself is not mysterious. There is a rhyme and a rhythm to the process of crafting an impactful story. Learn how to tell stories that stay with your listeners, by planting in them a question that will be the seed of their transformation.
