I've read many books on how to write a story, and although it's easy to read and it gives good examples at the start of the book, I found that towards the end it concentrated more on how to approach a business etc... That's fine if you're looking for a position in a company, in which case it's worth it, but it's perhaps not as useful if you're a creative writer. Having said all that, it does make some good points, so it's not a waste of money.

I wanted a book to improve my sales technique, this was it and more. Such a surprisingly simple subject brought to life. 10/10

Overall Impression: Who is this for?I definitely recommend reading this book. If you are looking to improve your impact in the workplace, within your own business, or even on social media, I believe this book will prove very helpful. It is full of great examples, very well written and has a great, and easy to follow structure which makes it very straightforward to go back and find specific parts after you have finished reading the book.Structure and Content:The book is split into three parts. In part one, Rob Biesenbach provides the foundation. He explains why stories are powerful, how a story should be structure, components it should have and how to do it yourself. In part two, the author explains how to "polish" your story, how to make it more efficient or focused and where to find inspiration. In part three, you will find various little guides on how to tell different kinds of stories, e.g. your company's origin story, how to use stories in presentations, how to tell your personal brand story and others.If this review was helpful, please let me know by clicking the button below.

Some simple but useful concepts on using storytelling

There aren't that many books of this nature that are both easy to absorb on the first occasion and useful to dip back into when you need a reminder. I found this to be a very useful guide to this topic; it has given me some helpful steers.

Very good narration and following the process through the book

This is a really good book on storytelling. I have *flicked* through a lot of storytelling books in the past but none have captured my interest or attention like this one.It's fast-paced, easy to read, not bogged down by theory and jargon, and it's very practical - win, win all round!I also particularly liked the segment on corporate storytelling, which I’ll utilise in my current organisation. A great book for Communications professionals and entrepreneur/speakers alike.

This book really sicks at every level as there is no practical tips how to form your story. Infact the stories author has written or examples used are really boring and sad to read. I wasted my precious time to still see if good content coming. I don't recommend this book of you want to create stories. I am a Meditation coach trying to create spiritual stories put up in a frame work.

Great book, really got to the point and taught me great tips on telling stories to my friends or at events like weddings and stuff, all in all I liked it!

This book is amazing , simple to read, straight to the point and very practical. I used it on daily life and I was so impress how people got focus and got impact on my stories ! You need this book !

The book is highly recommended for beginners who wish to make a difference in their communication skills and to connect with others. Stories are powerful tool in this process and the books detail out the essentials for a bouvier to get started. Please note this is not for people who want to develop advanced story telling skills, but serves the best for the beginnners

Waste of time.much better books out there.
