Recensioner i media

Coming Home To Story talks directly and engagingly about the way storytelling can profoundly affect someone's life from first tentative encounter to a glorious and joyful tool and metaphor for life and work. The author combines a straightforward talking from the heart with a rigorous examination of his own journey and storytelling as an art form. He gives a clear sense of how doubts, challenges, joy and adventure can be addressed and inhabited in a storied life.
