From the first page to the end I was deeply connected to this book。 Why? the subtitle tells it all, "How Stories Can Save Us。" When the pandemic hit and my sons, husband, and I found ourselves trapped by the four walls and our separation from the rest of the world we all sought out connection to others in whatever means we could; reading, zoom, phone, and so on。 This book helped connect the dots on why this was so important。 We are hardwired for sharing who we are via story with others。 Mark wea From the first page to the end I was deeply connected to this book。 Why? the subtitle tells it all, "How Stories Can Save Us。" When the pandemic hit and my sons, husband, and I found ourselves trapped by the four walls and our separation from the rest of the world we all sought out connection to others in whatever means we could; reading, zoom, phone, and so on。 This book helped connect the dots on why this was so important。 We are hardwired for sharing who we are via story with others。 Mark weaves his work with The Hearth and its participants stories together to help illustrate how the story we share can bring people together for a common good, to heal and rebuild, and ultimately to help ourselves in the stories we share, or desire to share。 As a community leader and coach, I found these stories and the outcomes of each event to be inspiring and hopeful。 。。。more

An enjoyable, thoughtful read。 The author reminds us that Not every story is worth the listening, especially if it harbors a lie。 I appreciated -- and listened to -- the stories told in this book。

The power is not in the telling。 It's in the listening。 And。。。the key to storytelling is: what was desired, what the struggle was, and what was learned。 Thoughtfully written。 Some of the stories quoted are so poignant。 Interesting for any reader。 Especially so, for a writer。 The power is not in the telling。 It's in the listening。 And。。。the key to storytelling is: what was desired, what the struggle was, and what was learned。 Thoughtfully written。 Some of the stories quoted are so poignant。 Interesting for any reader。 Especially so, for a writer。 。。。more
