Lately, I’ve been hanging out at bookstores, looking at all the cool stuff that Booktubers are posting, reading books, and reading books about books.
I don't feel it is unusual for an author to decide to buy a book to help them grasp the important topics to help them relay their story.
The book StoryTelling with Charts - The Full Story: The Ultimate Playbook to Master the Art and Science of Captivating Audiences by Telling Stories With Data and Framework Charts is about creating a book with impactful visuals. This book is broken down into 5 easy-to-comprehend chapters that use a powerful 5 - step framework.
WHAT IS STC?
THE ANATOMY OF STC AND ITS CHARTS
UNIVERSAL FRAMEWORK FOR VERTICAL LOGIC
CHART SELECTION—QUALITATIVE OR CONCEPTUAL CHARTS
HORIZONTAL LOGIC AND STORYLINES
This book gives us the background as to why it is that we like books. It talks about how we humans get great enjoyment from telling engaging stories to one another and reading irresistible narratives.
So basically the story we tell one another allows our audience to paint a picture in their minds of what occurred. Hence the message procludes the chart or visual.
Sam Schreim makes us aware that learning the STC method is similar to learning a language and he relays the importance of utilizing the 80/20 rule in giving/asking. He also touches on using documents in PowerPoint or Keynote so they can easily be converted to video.
At one point Schreim brings up the storyline for the movie Benjamin Button - but forewarns us with the spoiler alert. Later in the book he throws an Albert Einstein quote at us that really makes one think - logically.
We travel back in time and look at a time Before Laptops and Computers when everything was manual and charts were hand drawn and where authors had a plot things out in their mind before collecting the required data. We have gone from a scarcity of data to an abundance of it with the aid of the internet and social media.
Schreim alerts us to Four Types of Charts. There are also cheat sheets, diagrams, look-up tables, quick references, and toolkits included.
This is an informative read. It will help you choose the correct visual to assist in recounting moments that absorb an audience's attention.
I received a copy of this book from Sam Schreim.

In any business, putting together a slide presentation can be very nerve-wracking. It's easy to do it wrong. This book presents ways to keep your audience from yawning or reaching for their cellphones.
It starts with KISS (Keep it simple, stupid). Use only one chart, or one concept, per slide. Next, stay consistent throughout your presentation. Use the same font type, or font size (as much as possible). Use the same numerical scale on your charts. If one chart has a number xxx.x, use it on all other charts.
If possible, use numbers in your charts that can be verified, and not guesses or projections. In these days of big data, there is no lack of data available. The hard part is to find the "right" data. That starts with knowing the right questions to ask.
Sometimes, like in the legal field, words will be more important than numbers. Use bullet points - keep it simple. Ensure that the person in the back of the room can read, and understand, your slide.
Here is a very specialized, and very good, book. Anyone who creates business presentations, on slides or PowerPoint, will greatly benefit by reading this book.

Storytelling with charts is a really interesting book that I highly recommend for anyone who is interested in understanding data and developing a story through charts. I loved how simple it shows the topics with graphics, although the explanations were also quite complete and very easy to understand, which means that anyone can take advantage of this technique.
Storytelling with graphics is amazing and it will help you to have complete information to improve your presentation skills, that's why I highly recommend it, you will become an expert in public speaking and your storytelling in no time. Due to the way of teaching that we are used to, we do not usually associate graphics with storytelling, but with this book you will realize that it is necessary to have the complete story to understand a graphic, otherwise it is just a lot of numbers.
This book is excellent since in today's industry data analysis and graphs are very important, but really the most fundamental thing is knowing how to present this information clearly and conclusively. It seems to me a fairly complete reading and that it can be useful to anyone who is in the business world.

“Storytelling with Charts” by Sam Schreim is a very useful book for both business professionals and newcomers to business. It teaches us that transforming data and text into a gripping story is not just advisable, but vital. As we can see from the title, this book is specifically about telling a narrative with charts. The author points out that, rather than saying, “I have all this data and how should I go about visualizing it”, we should ask ourselves, “what data and analysis do I need to figure out what is causing my problem”. I found it particularly valuable to learn that storytelling with charts is based on the concept that less is more and that one should not clutter up one’s presentations with too many pictures and words. This is an outstanding book!

I used a (paper) flip chart and marker when I did presentations. I would have used Sam Schreim’s, the author, method of using artificial intelligence if it had been around back then. I say if you are still collecting data and designing presentations the old way, then give this a try. This book is a tutorial that equips professional presenters with information on how to develop your presentation skills with AI. These ideas revolutionize presentation ideas and methods.
Years can be spent on trial-and-error learning. This book puts presenters on a fast-track learning how to create professional presentations. With AI, there really is a new way to conduct trainings, or seminars. The author is advocating professionals use AI; however, “Human assessors are crucial . . .”

Great perspective change!
I’ve always been a visual person, so I love the idea of communicating through visuals. Storytelling with Charts is a powerful and strategic method of communication. In this book, we learn a lot about using videos and charts to communicate ideas in different settings. Structure and organization are most important when creating visuals. Some questions you can ask yourself before you get started are: What are the main themes and ideas? How many main themes or topics are there? I really learned a lot from this book that I think will help me to communicate using visuals moving forward. Highly recommend!

Storytelling with Charts by author Sam Schreim offers a useful and proven, logic-based approach to tell attractive stories with charts, aimed for business either professionals or non-professionals. The “charts” are usually visual references that may impact and give power to any story line. So this tutorial guide provides the tools, data and text visualization to make that happen.
What I like the most is that this book is, as per its author's words, an accelerated crash course; which means it is concise, short and to the point. For me, this is definitively an advantage, as it is effective and readers do not loose important points in explanations or excessive examples.
