Description
Abraham Lincoln said, "A story is the shortest path between a stranger and a friend."
The goal of this book is to equip you with the techniques that Lincoln used to tell a story. The book analyzes the individual methods Lincoln used to tell a story, such as mimicry, self-effacing humor and adding a moral to the story. Following each description, examples are presented of Lincoln using the same method.
The book describes how Lincoln developed his story telling skills and the characteristics he possessed that imbued his compelling stories with unbridled power. Following Lincoln's lead, the author illustrates how he uses stories in his daily life to connect with children, audiences and complete strangers. The author shows how to "Lincoln-ize," or rejuvenate, an old story by using the Lincoln three-step template. The book is brimming with stories told by, and told about, the Jedi Master of storytelling, Abraham Lincoln.
