- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5How to Tell a Story: The Essential Guide to Memorable Storytelling from The Moth is both an excellent guide as well as an entertaining read. The ideas and suggestions go far beyond simply developing a Moth story, namely because a Moth story taps into the core of storytelling itself.There are so many ways in which this book can enrich the reader's life. There is the obvious, developing a story for either a Moth event or some other specific purpose. But that is just the beginning. As you start to internalize the principles here you will find yourself, on the fly, adjusting how you tell a story to friends and acquaintances. Are you sharing a piece of yourself? Are you also hoping to modify someone's views on a topic? Do you want your story to help someone overcome their own obstacle? This book can help you craft your life experiences in ways that can serve these functions as well as simply bring people together as, well, human beings.My review copy is an electronic version that is temporary. This is one of the ARCs that I will make a point of adding to my physical library, I want to mark it up and make notes in it. I tend toward being one of those semi-introverts, you know, the one that speaks very little in most settings but cant shut up when with friends. This will, I think, help me to feel a bit more confident sharing in places where I would otherwise have kept quiet and regretted it.Recommended for writers, speakers, and the vast majority of us that simply like to share with friends but are worried we will bore them to tears or go off on a dozen (at least) tangents.Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.
