Although The Power of Storytelling is geared toward presentation storytelling, Would be, and experienced writers should read this book because some of the techniques lend themselves to authoring books.

Books are a different type of presentation than those on stage. Everyone should be a good storyteller in social circumstances, in business, and of course in books.

Mr. Bennett offers how excellent storytelling is a requirement in presenting speeches, audio and visual presentations, and more techniques to become a better storyteller in any situation.

The Power of Storytelling is approximately one-hundred,and sixty pages filled with all of the information on becoming a better storyteller.

Being a good storyteller is important to business people who must explain what they do when networking. Businesspeople should be comfortable with the elevator pitch, and authors must be good storytellers for their readers.

The Power of Storytelling is a recommended read for anyone who wishes to be a better storyteller for all occasions.

Like to tell stories and be better in situations where a good story is needed, get a copy.

This was an excellent insight into storytelling. Ty dives in and breaks down the elements of how to tell a great story, that will influence your audience, and make your stories memorable.
There was a lot of great information in the book, and a lot of it wasn't new to me, and can be found in other places, but the great part was the delivery along with his own more original ideas.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to better influence people, or tell better stories.

A clear outline of how to tell your story, no matter the purpose. Full of illustrations, examples, stories, and tips Bennett shows how to construct, and deliver, a story. Very practical and helpful.

This and his other books are good "seminar" books. Those books that they sell when you see him speak, and to build credibility. It is short so it might actually be read and is fairly simple. It holds its place just not at the top of influential reads.

great book on storytelling

[Edwin Sam Jr. · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed the book, and there were lots of good techniques that I’ll implement when telling stories and presenting. There were tons of typos and editorial mistakes (missing spaces, missing punctuation, sentences duplicated) that were very distracting to read. Also, the book was repetitive at times with the same sentence repackaged multiple times in the same paragraph. Overall, I’d recommend the book to a friend.

This book gives very helpful and practical ways to improve your storytelling. And because people connect best to well-told stories, this book is incredibly timely.

Basic and easy to digest tips on excellent storytelling - specifically in speeches, but easily applied to other mediums.
