Why read it?

3 authors picked Storyworthy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I wanted to learn more about the craft of storytelling while also being entertained by the information....Matthew Dicks nailed both.

Matthew is a serial public speaking champion who basically should be entered in The Moth Hall of Fame asap. If you've never heard Matthew Dicks talk, pause this and go watch his videos online. He's that good. What I love about his book is that he shares how he crafts his own stories and shares some amazing tips on how to capture everyday events that can later on be turned into powerful stories. Although this book isn't so much geared towards business or work, I think everyone can learn a great deal from Matthew's impressive experience of making people pay…

Stories develop an emotional connection between you and your right fit customer. There’s no better book on how to find and craft a story that engages and persuades than this book. Dicks takes you through his process for finding stories, the small moment stories that happen every day. Then shows you how to craft those stories so they leave an impression in the hearts and minds of your audience. Pay special attention to the 5-second transformation because just that tip will change how you tell stories.
