GET THE LATEST STORYWISE BOOK

This book takes the 2008 election as a Case Study to show that a narrative critical method can bring a whole new explanatory power to our understanding of the public stories and their impact on us as citizens. It begins by asking

Why are we suckers
for a good story?

 


"We bought the story about our innocence and our exceptionalism, that told us that we don’t torture and our military   don’t lie,
and  most recently, we have been sold the tale that our money is as safe as a bank !That has proved to be too true."

how to shape the stores that shape us

 CNS is an international team dedicated to applying narrative theory to the practical renewal of leadership in culture and communities.

Working with groups and organizations, we train people to become leaders by teaching them to

 

  • understand the power of stories,
     
  • weigh the real effects stories have in shaping identity and destiny, 
     
  • translate these narrative approaches into a method to engage creatively with conflict and change.
