Historia
It's every novelist's greatest fear: pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into writing hundreds of pages only to realize that their story has no sense of urgency, no internal logic, and so is a page-one rewrite. The prevailing wisdom in the writing community is that there are just two ways around this problem: pantsing (winging it) and plotting (focusing on the external plot).

At the beginning of his career, Joseph Campbell developed a lasting fascination with the cultures of the Far East, and explorations of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy later became recurring motifs in his vast body of work. However, Campbell had to wait until middle age to visit the lands that inspired him so deeply. In 1954, he took a sabbatical from his teaching position and embarked on a year-long voyage through India, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and finally Japan.

For many of us, listening is simply something we do on autopilot. We hear just enough of what others say to get our work done, maintain friendships, and be polite with our neighbors. But we miss crucial opportunities to go deeper - to give and receive honest feedback, to make connections that will endure for the long haul, and to discover who people truly are at their core. Fortunately, listening can be improved - and Ximena Vengoechea can show you how.

In his landmark best seller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant, in the blink of an eye, that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept?

Resumen del Editor
“A practical, heartfelt manual for anyone who needs to change minds and actions. Lisa Cron shares the art of practical empathy with leaders who care enough to make a difference.” (Seth Godin, author of The Practice)
A step-by-step guide to using the brain’s hardwired need for story to achieve any goal, from the author of Wired for Story
Whether you’re pitching a product, saving the planet, or convincing your kids not to text and drive, story isn’t just one way to persuade. It’s the way. It’s built into the architecture of the brain, and has been since early humans gathered around the camp fire, trying to figure out how to outsmart the lion next door.
In Story or Die, story coach Lisa Cron sets out to decode the power of story, first by examining how the brain processes information, translates it into narrative, and then guards it as if your life depends on it. Armed with that insight, she focuses on how to find your real target audience and then pinpoint their hidden resistance. Finally, she takes you, step-by-step, through the creation of your own story, one that allows your audience to overcome their resistance and take up your call to action, not because you told them to, but because they want to.
That is the power of story. Use it wisely.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Since ancient times (and childhood bedtime, for that matter), we’ve known that stories are humans’ most compelling force. Now, in Story or Die, Lisa Cron masterfully shows you how to turn your stories into an unstoppable force of persuasion.” (Jay Heinrichs, author of Thank You for Arguing)
“Lisa Cron is authoritative, compelling, and always worth listening to. If storytelling is important to your work in any way, Story or Die is essential reading.” (Andy Goodman, director, The Goodman Center)
“Lisa Cron has studied the science and architecture of powerful stories for decades. In Story or Die, she translates her knowledge into a compelling storytelling guide for anyone with an idea to spread or a cause to advance. If you want to change how others see the world, then this book will show you how.” (Bernadette Jiwa, creator of The Story Skills Workshop)

After 25 years of achieving what he thought were his dreams of being a headlining touring comedian and actor, Kyle Cease suddenly discovered that the belief that "when something happens, I will be happy" is a complete lie. With nothing more than an intuition, he decided to quit his stand-up career at its peak, and now - as a transformational comedian - he brings his one-of-a-kind self-help wisdom to sold-out audiences in his Evolving Out Loud Live stage show.

In Bad Advice, relationship expert Dr. Venus Nicolino - aka Dr. V - takes a blowtorch to the shrink-wrapped “feel good” BS that passes for self-help these days. Smart and irreverent, Dr. V fuses the brains and insight of a nerdy PhD with the heart of a doting Italian mother and the artful profanity of a Philly trucker. Dr. V’s signature combination of humor, hard science, and heart make Bad Advice an iconoclastic course correction like no other. Bad Advice is a fiercely sharp wake-up call that tackles some of self-help’s most damaging truisms.

It's every novelist's greatest fear: pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into writing hundreds of pages only to realize that their story has no sense of urgency, no internal logic, and so is a page-one rewrite. The prevailing wisdom in the writing community is that there are just two ways around this problem: pantsing (winging it) and plotting (focusing on the external plot).

In desperation, he cried out to God for wisdom, for a different way. The answer was a simple four-part formula, one based on timeless biblical principles, and, most important, it worked.

Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human.

Change comes most readily when you understand what's standing between you and success and tailor your solution to that roadblock. If you want to work out more but find exercise difficult and boring, downloading a goal-setting app probably won't help. But what if, instead, you transformed your workouts so they became a source of pleasure instead of a chore? Turning an uphill battle into a downhill one is the key to success.

Very useful
Loved the book. In this book Lisa tells about story basics and how to apply technique to any kind of story - from teaching kid to not text while driving to creating an ad or speech that will stay in people's minds for a long time. A lot of good examples and funny comments from the author that allows to understand it much easier.
Like in Lisa's previous books, we learn more about her thru experiences she share with us.

Fantastic book, terrible narrator
Cron is a genius at cracking open the heart of stories and explaining how and why they grab us and affect us and change us.
This narrator is not the right fit, however. It feels like she’s reading a children’s story. Way too perky and overdone. Not sure why she was chosen for a nonfiction book as her OTT performance is so distracting from the clear and compelling argument Cron makes.

The Book from Lisa Cron I was waiting for.
Having read the summary of Wired for Story and all the bits about neuroscience, I was expecting this book. However, what I got was a book on writing good stories. I was pretty disappointed. It wasn't that Wired for Story was bad; it just wasn't as advertised, at least in my mind.
Story or Die completely delivers on the promise of what I thought I was getting in Wired for Story. I'm not sure if there was feedback on what people were looking for that wasn't in Wired for Story, but Story or Die delivers. This book is great. It's the kind of book that made me stop and think about the concepts in the book and how they can be applied in my own work.
Story or Die has quickly moved to my list of favorite books on storytelling, along with Story by Robert McKee, Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell, Winning The Storywars by Jonah Sachs, Storyworthy by Mathew Dicks, Made to Stick by the Heath brothers, and man others.
Thank you, Lisa!

If you expect some good stories and/or demonstrations of good storytelling you will be disappointed.
Poorly referenced with misunderstood pseudoscience.
Nothing here to evoke or provoke an emotional response.
Nothing memorable.
just boring

Good content, but...
I'm a big fan of Wired for Story, it helped me a lot and the content of this book is great. At least the content I listened to. I tried to get through it twice but gave up both times. (Now please imagine a hushed tone) the problem is...(three second dramatic pause) the NARRATOR!!! (five second dramatic pause).
The narrator reads this book with a kind of silly acting, as if you went to your local improv group and asked them to act out the book. The reading is filled with different emotional intensities (or jokey tone) and dramatic pauses that make no sense. And it's consistent, talking about results from a research study has the same vaudevillian acting as talking about the author fleeing her home in the middle of the night with a young child because of a fire.
It's very distracting, and this constant emphasizing/deemphasizing different parts of sentences could misinterpret the author's work (like when quoting people say "emphasis mine" when changing emphasis). I'm not saying this audiobook needs a voice with "generic neutrality" but it would be nice to sound conversational and not like an acting performance. I encourage the author to narrate the book next time. The content is good enough without the need for this silly acting.
