They drive us to act out our dreams and ambitions and mold our beliefs. Storytelling is an essential part of what makes us human. So, how do master storytellers compel us?

With sections such as “The Dramatic Question,” “Creating a World,” and “Plot, Endings, and Meaning,” as well as a practical, step-by-step appendix dedicated to “The Sacred Flaw Approach,” The Science of Storytelling reveals just what makes stories work, placing it alongside such creative writing classics as John Yorke’s Into the Woods: A Five-Act Journey into Story and Lajos Egri’s The Art of Dramatic Writing. Enlightening and empowering, The Science of Storytelling is destined to become an invaluable resource for writers of all stripes, whether novelist, screenwriter, playwright, or writer of creative or traditional nonfiction.

Trial Advocacy: the Art of Storytelling by Jared Hatcliffe Pdf

"A trial is a story-the story of your client's truth, and there is an art to storytelling. To succeed, your story must mesmerize, entertain, and persuade the jury throughout every phase of trial. This book is a direct, to-the-point guide to successfully master that art, tell that story, and try your case in New York State court. It is written in a conversational tone and deliberately brief to avoid the boredom that causes many students to throw books aside and jurors to lose attention during your case. Instead of telling you what to do, it contains detailed examples that illustrate how to implement the recommended techniques. It contains specific methods used by the most successful New York civil and criminal attorneys to win their cases and explores the right way to conduct each stage of the trial as well as discussing expert testimony, evidence, and the law of trial advocacy in New York, which will help you win your case and tell your story"--

The Art of Political Storytelling by Philip Seargeant Pdf

In our post-truth world, tapping into people's emotions has proved far more effective than rational argument - and, as Philip Seargeant argues in this illuminating and entertaining book, the most powerful tool for manipulating emotions is a gripping narrative. From Trump's America to Brexit Britain, weaving a good story, featuring fearless protagonists, challenging quests against seemingly insurmountable odds, and soundbite after soundbite of memorable dialogue has been at the heart of political success. So does an understanding of the art of storytelling help explain today's successful political movements? Can it translate into a blueprint for victory at the ballot box? The Art of Political Storytelling looks at how stories are created, shared and contested, illuminating the pivotal role that persuasive storytelling plays in shaping our understanding of the political world we live in. By mastering the tools and tricks of narrative, and evaluating the language and rhetorical strategies used to craft and enact them, Seargeant explains how and why today's combination of new media, populism and partisanship makes storytelling an ever more important part of the persuasive and political process. In doing so, the book offers an original and compelling way of understanding the chaotic world of today's politics.
