      This book is for you if you're looking for help to shape and share your unique story. Box and Mocine-McQueen have distilled their Million Person Project into a slender helpful volume. It's upbeat, but not drowning in sweetness. How Your Story Sets You Free combines stories, quotes, and guided prompts. Learn why personal stories matter, their impact on others, and how to tell yours.
    • 5/5
      Lovely. It's a welcome read for all writers, whether you're struggling to find your place or don't know where to begin. A must have for all story tellers. A quick read that is sweet and moving. Lucky enough to recieve a copy from the publisher thanks to LibraryThing Early Reviewers!
    • 5/5
      How Your Story Sets You Free by Heather Box and Julian Mocine-McQueen was not the book I was expecting it to be. Turns out that is a good thing. I expected more of a writer's guidebook, and this misconception was all on me and what I was anticipating when I read the blurb. It certainly can serve as a bit of a writer's guidebook but it is more about communication, regardless the form, and the role storytelling plays within that area.I hesitate to use the phrase "self-help" because I find the vast majority of books that promote themselves as such to be more about publisher/writer-help in making a dollar of people wanting a better life. I have personally gained more in my life from other nonfiction and fiction than from the hundreds of "self-help" books I've read over the years. That said, this book will help you in many ways, both internally and in the world. So whether one labels it self-help or not, it does actually accomplish that objective.We don't, on the whole, realize the impact our stories can have on others. As a result, we keep things to ourselves. Sometimes doing so inhibits us beyond just a feeling of not being important enough to "have a story." Yet if we think back we realize that everything that has had an impact on us was likely in story form. From the sciences to how best to handle life. A story makes information more memorable and thus retained better. A story will also help to lower barriers between people so that we can begin to understand that we are far more alike than we are different. So...Tell your story. Whether you want to make change in the world, in your community, among your friends, or within yourself just tell your story. Of course, just telling it doesn't always work. Maybe we're still unsure whether it is important or useful to anyone else. Maybe we just haven't stopped to think about how to engage people actively so we drone on in a monotone, or write in a basic "this then this" style. That is where this little book can make such a huge impact. Why tell your story? How to tell your story. Enlisting help and support (which is vitally important for someone such as myself who prefers to stay on the periphery of most groups). The ideas, examples, and suggestions here will help you to decide to tell your story and prepare you to do so effectively. Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
    • 5/5
      Though a small and quick read, the book is very well written and to the point: tell your story, no matter how uninteresting or useless you might think it. The authors stress the point that humans are storytellers, always have been, and that to navigate your life and the world at large you need stories to guide you, and, in turn, to tell your story to help others out there find their way in life and in the world. You have no idea how important telling your story might be, it could help one person, multiple people, or possibly even millions, you never know. Just tell it, even to just one person. A really neat book.
    • 3/5
      Heather Box and Julian Mocine-McQueen present a simple guidebook to finding, crafting, and sharing your story. In a hundred pages, Box and Mocine-McQueen offer succinct tips for storytelling, including the why, the how-to, the shaping, and the presentation.
    • 5/5
      This volume is deceiving. It is small in size and short in length. Yet, it packs a powerful message. The authors tell how to discover and share the stories within you in ways that can change the world. The writing is concise. There are no descriptions of theory to wade through. The authors provide clear directions and examples of how to discover your stories, prepare them for sharing, and tell them in an impactful way. This book is a call to action. It does not matter if you simply want to share your life stories with your family or you want to shout them out to the world. You have something to say that others need to hear. This book will help you find your voice so that those stories can be told.
