The author is a phenomenal storyteller, and i absolutely love the idea of how keeping track of your stories lengthen a life. I went into this with zero expectations for anything and was quite pleasantly surprised. I also got introduced to Moth and Homework for life, which are two wonderful things.

Practical tips on how to capture your stories and recognize the special moments in your life. And then share those with the world. It was too lengthy for me but overall a good read.

Matthew Dicks is a charming and relatable author. Perhaps that's why I found this book so enjoyable (I even learned some lessons about life and storytelling). This is another one I'd like to keep a copy of around for reference.

A masterpiece of a book. While completely logical, this book baffles my mind. I mean, obviously a Moth GrandSLAM winner (it means he is really good at telling stories) is going to be great at writing a book about telling stories, and weaving great stories into it, but I really did not expect just how good he would be.

This book is not just Matt (and yes I call him Matt, we are on a first name, nickname basis) telling interesting stories in a captivating manner. This book is also him analyzing his stories, and the way he is telling them. He talks about why you should do certain things, like emphasizing your 5-second-moment and make the start equal and opposite, but he also talks about why you should not do other things, like talk about vacation without the vacation being the unimportant part, and much much more.

If you are anything like me and you feel like you want to get better at telling engaging and fun stories, and you like to entertain, I highly recommend this book as a start to get better at understanding how to tell compelling stories. An absolute masterpiece of a book.
