Publisher's summary

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.

Outstanding

This is one of the best copywriting books I’ve ever read. Yes I know that’s not why Matthew wrote it, but you’d be insane not to read this book if you’re a copywriter.

More importantly though, this is a book about how to move people forward through the power of story.

It’s outstanding.

Master Craftsman Sharing His Tools and How to Use

At the end I walked away form this book having a deeper appreciation of a craftsman and the work and diligence they put into their craft. We often see the finished product and are amazed by what we see or hear, not understanding the upfront work. This book takes us behind the scenes of the craft of storytelling and shows us the work and skill that goes into making a story stand out how how people connect with a great story. Take the lessons learned, apply them and you go from a good storyteller to a great storyteller. In the process you will leave whatever audience you have in front of you with a little piece of you.

This is an absolute must read!

This is an absolute must read, for anyone who works with stories or the telling of stories. As a video creator this book has opened up whole new possibilities on how to better serve our clients, as well as how to better share my own life with my family and those who matter to me.

Such a great ride

I would literally recommend this book to anyone. We all have people who we care about in our lives and this book will help you communicate and connect better with them. Thanks Matt!

Very interesting

Despite his nasal, monotonous voice which put me off at first, I agree he knows how to tell stories and make people listen to him for hours. And can teach you how!

Great listen and tips

Got tons of value listening to this book. From homework to life to using, “but” and “therefore.” Highly recommended!

Amazing

One of the best books I’ve ever read/listened to. A must read for anyone. Equally entertaining and useful.

This Was Beautiful

A true educator for the people. I am inspired to take action on creating beautiful stories in my own life as a means to educate, entertain, and inspire the world.

Engaging

I have lead a pretty vanilla life. I can only imagine right now that I have only a few stories. I hope that doing Homework for Life and the other exercises prove me wrong! This book is funny, engaging, and I soaked in as much as I could. I have already altered the way I engage in conversation, and I hope that I will become easier to listen to, and more inspiring to people through these techniques. Cheers to Matthew Dicks. I also don’t write reviews very often at all.

Thank you!

This was a great audible! I learned so much about the power of storytelling! Thank you! It was highly engaging! Matthew has a great energetic voice!
