Peo­ple for­get facts and fig­ures, but peo­ple nev­er for­get a good sto­ry.

In this stand-alone com­pan­ion to Your Sto­ry, Well Told, author and The Moth Sto­ryS­lams host Corey Rosen pro­vides a prac­ti­cal, go-to guide on craft­ing and deliv­er­ing impact­ful nar­ra­tives for pro­fes­sion­al, aca­d­e­m­ic, and per­son­al suc­cess. Com­bin­ing humor, heart, and advice, Rosen demys­ti­fies sto­ry­telling, mak­ing it acces­si­ble for begin­ners while enrich­ing expe­ri­enced sto­ry­tellers.

Orga­nized into three parts — busi­ness, school, and fam­i­ly — the book address­es diverse sto­ry­telling needs, from job inter­views and per­sua­sive pitch­es to col­lege essays, eulo­gies, and wed­ding toasts. Each chap­ter fea­tures vivid exam­ples and easy-to-fol­low exer­cis­es, help­ing read­ers tap into their life expe­ri­ences and trans­form them into com­pelling sto­ries. Through per­son­al anec­dotes and struc­tured exer­cis­es, read­ers learn to reflect on their expe­ri­ences, struc­ture their sto­ries effec­tive­ly, and share them with authen­tic­i­ty.

Whether you’re a doc­tor, teacher, sales­man, par­ent, or a friend, A Sto­ry for Every­thing empow­ers you to ele­vate your com­mu­ni­ca­tion and enrich your rela­tion­ships. If you want to make an unfor­get­table impres­sion, this book was made for you.
