About this listen

A fascinating exploration of how to use the power of storytelling to create irresistible pitches, build passionate brand loyalty, motivate teams and lead with charisma.

'Will Storr is a genius' Rory Sutherland
'A captivating and enlightening read . . Will Storr is an unusually talented and insightful writer' Adam Grant

'Whip smart, insightful and ridiculously entertaining' Jimmy Carr
'Shows how storytelling is the key to success in business, politics and even personal relationships.' The Times
____________________________________________________

Using the latest findings from social psychology, evolutionary psychology, organisational psychology and neuroscience, A Story is a Deal argues that we won't unlock the true power of story if we treat it merely as something we read on a page, see on a screen or hear in a speech. Storr shows how successful stories shape identities, which changes beliefs, drives action and achieves extraordinary results.

With examples ranging from Aztec rituals to Apple's legendary advertising successes (and long-forgotten fails), A Story is a Deal lays out a revolutionary new method for creating the most persuasive messaging: by harnessing the power of our storytelling brains.

Akin to a tiresome humanities lesson than about story. Basically rehash of his previous work.
