Before reading this book, I was afraid that I bore people to death. As an academic, I have to talk to students and other researchers about topics that are often a bit dry. I also have to get my point across in writing before readers sink into a boredom-induced coma. This book provided me with some guidance on how to create engaging stories.

The Book

Dicks, M (2018): “Storyworthy — Engage, teach, persuade, and change your life through the power of storytelling”. San Francisco, CA: New World Library.
