pickDo you have a story to tell? For over 25 years, The Moth has been bringing masterful storytellers to stages and radios across the country, and in this book they finally put their process of sourcing, shaping, and performing stories onto the page for all. How to Tell a Story reminded me why I believe in the power of stories to change the world, it made me more confident to tell my own, and it gave me the tools to tell my story and be heard.

It's been a good year for books, so far, but I think I've narrowed it down to my top favorites (in no particular order):
Pandora's Jar: Women in Greek Mythology by Natalie Haynes
Embers of War trilogy by Gareth L. Powell
The Goodbye Coast by Joe Ide
The Rise and Reign of The Mammals by Steven Brusatte
An Immense World by Ed Yong
The Seven Spears of The W'dch'ck by Lionel Fenn
Atlas of The Heart by Brene Brown

so-soReally tight between a pick and so-so, and while it was well written and others might find it useful, it didn‘t work for me.
The producers of The Moth events and podcasts share their tips to crafting the perfect story. They spoke briefly about stories in job interviews or school applications, but the majority of what they gave readers advice about was giving toasts, which is not what I wanted. I did like the excerpts from Moth events.
Todays book haul. Yes please! Super excited to get started on the pile! #bookhappiness
pickI thought this was a very helpful and insightful book. I have not read any of the author before this one but plan to read more of his work. The concept of the book isn‘t earth shattering but he does a great job of explaining everything well and helping the reader begin applying and growing into what he describes. I learned a lot and will apply what I have learned.
ARC 📚 I‘m about 17% into this book and highly enjoying it! The author is providing interesting stories to highlight her points and clear takeaways for self-improvement. It‘s easy to read, but also worthwhile. #bringinguptheboss #netgalley #selfdevelopment #managerdevelopment #businessbook
pickI loved all the practices of this book! I have learned so much about the importance of putting myself first. I deserve it! Also, plan on going back each month to read and practice these skills more thoroughly. This is definitely gonna be a workbook that I will use in conjunction with my journal.
