A STORY IS A DEAL
How to use the science of storytelling to lead, motivate and persuade
Following his hugely successful The Science of Storytelling, acclaimed story guru Will Storr examines the incredible power story has over human minds. In his groundbreaking new book, he reveals how, when they appeal to our identity, stories have a uniquely powerful ability to take us over: influencing, persuading and creating motivation, passion and loyalty.
‘Shows how storytelling is the key to success in business, politics and even personal relationships . . . [Offers] convincing examples of the way that storytelling can be the difference between failure and success for an otherwise solid product. But even more compelling, and consequently alarming, are his examples of pure snake oil elevated by savvy narrative.’
THE TIMES
‘More effectively than anyone before, Storr shows us how to install and sequence the crucial elements of stories into persuasive appeals.’
