ReviewsPraise for How to Tell a Story "Fans of nonprofit storytelling organization The Moth, which, since 1997, has presented 50,000-plus stories, won a Peabody Award for its The Moth Radio Hour and boasts a popular eponymous podcast, will be drawn to this guide to, yep, telling stories. From toasts to eulogies, from job interviews to social events, this book will help you with ideas, structure, delivery and more." -- CNN "True to its title, How to Tell a Story is a wonderfully practical and thoughtful guide to turning your own experiences and epiphanies into engaging tales. The book is very Moth-centric--'Moth stories are true and told out loud, in the first person'--but there's also advice about telling stories during job interviews, business presentations and toasts. Everything here could be easily adapted by classroom teachers or (one can hope) by relatives you see once a year at Thanksgiving." -- The Washington Post "Inspiring . . . This book . . . provides everything readers need to share their own personal narratives." --Booklist Praise for The Moth "There are many reasons I feel compelled to tell stories. Without stories, the past starts to mush together. And that makes me very anxious. Creating stories is a way for me to make sense of life. The Moth will help you tell great stories." --Roz Chast, New Yorker staff cartoonist "It's because of The Moth that I learned the dynamic range of storytelling." --Hasan Minhaj, Peabody Award-winning comedian, writer, and producer "The Moth changed my brain in the best possible way. Working with their amazing directors, I learned how to share my story in an authentic and powerful way that I now use almost every day as a teacher, author, and speaker. Now, that's some brain-changing magic!" --Dr. Wendy Suzuki, author and professor of neuroscience and psychology at New York University, Praise for How to Tell a Story "Fans of nonprofit storytelling organization The Moth, which, since 1997, has presented 50,000-plus stories, won a Peabody Award for its The Moth Radio Hour and boasts a popular eponymous podcast, will be drawn to this guide to, yep, telling stories.
