About this listen

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.

Really enjoyed listening to this book. Fabulous insights from someone who has had an extraordinary life. Loved it so much I've ordered a copy of the physical book so it can sit on my shelf and I can refer back to it whenever I want to.

I heard the author interviewed and was captivated. The book provided the models and detail I needed but is too long, too repetitive and frankly too directive. I believe the book could have been half as long and thereby twice as useful. It is still very useful and a good one to have on the shelf, but probably more helpful in print than audible.

Excellent and practical - first half especially

A lot of screen writing books give you structure or theology; this one teaches you to tell stories yourself

This guy’s voice kind of irks me as it’s a bit nasally but there are some nuggets of wisdom in there. I especially can’t handle the way he says the word Story haha, which is a bit of a problem for this book. Was more manageable at 1.2x which I rarely do. I don’t think I really understood it was mostly about “story crafting” for a live audience. Not really useful if you’re trying to learn about writing fiction.

Listen at 1.2x minimum

Takes a while to get going but if you try the homework for life and put the heavy accent aside and focus on his recommendations I think we will all tell better stories. I will need to listen again and some cheat sheets would help.

Persist it is worth it.
