The Essence of Bullshit

A field guide to cutting through the noise and telling stories that actually matter. The Essence of Bullshit explores why some stories stick and others don't — why tension matters more than perfection, how to turn ordinary experience into compelling narrative, and what makes an audience actually care. Written for leaders, communicators, teachers, preachers, and creators, in the tradition of Storyworthy, Made to Stick, and Talk Like TED.
