The Moth connects us because we all have stories. * Neil Gaiman, author and Moth boardmember * What you need to do, most of all, is feel like yourself. Once you do that, the words will come. * Meg Wolitzer - author and Moth storyteller * There are many reasons I feel compelled to tell stories. Without stories, the past starts to mush together. And that makes me very anxious. Creating stories is a way for me to make sense of life. The Moth will help you tell great stories. * Roz Chast, New Yorker staff cartoonist * It's because of The Moth that I learned the dynamic range of storytelling. * Hasan Minhaj, Peabody Award-winning comedian, writer, and producer * The Moth changed my brain in the best possible way. Working with their amazing directors, I learned how to share my story in an authentic and powerful way that I now use almost every day as a teacher, author, and speaker. Now, that's some brain-changing magic! * Dr. Wendy Suzuki, author and professor of neuroscience and psychology at New York University * From toasts to eulogies, from job interviews to social events, this book will help you with ideas, structure, delivery and more. * CNN * True to its title, How to Tell a Story is a wonderfully practical and thoughtful guide to turning your own experiences and epiphanies into engaging tales. The book is very Moth-centric - 'Moth stories are true and told out loud, in the first person' - but there's also advice about telling stories during job interviews, business presentations and toasts. * The Washington Post * Inspiring . . . This book . . . provides everything readers need to share their own personal narratives. * Booklist *
