  An excellent narrative is remembered by everyone. Regardless of the subject matter, good tales stick with us, whether we hear them on the radio, read about them in the newspaper, or watch them unfold on live television. A good story can be pretty compelling when recounted by a great storyteller. Effective storytellers can captivate their audience, guide them in whichever direction they need, and leave listeners/readers with new information to absorb and a value to carry with them.There's an old adage that people who tell stories are the ones who dominate the world. Whether you're pitching an investor, conducting a meeting, or introducing a new initiative, storytelling should be at the heart of everything you do as a team. Even a phone chat with a potential client entails some form of narrative. You may connect with customers, engage with colleagues, and even start a movement by using the power of storytelling.People often believe that learning a lesson through observation is less painful than learning through experience. When we share and embrace our failures, we assist others in overcoming their own challenges. The story can invest a concept with meaning and emotions in a way that plain writing cannot. People are drawn to stories because they can grasp a concrete object. Stories elicit emotions and motivate people to act.Speeches, presentations, workshops, and even board meetings can all benefit from the use of storytelling. Don't forget about it; it's been one of humanity's most valuable abilities since the dawn of communication.

  A Book of the Year in The Times, Guardian, Independent, New Statesman, Bookseller and at Waterstones 
  'He understands only the women he invents – the others not at all' 
  Thomas Hardy is one of the most beloved and most-read British authors. His influence on literature and the minds of his readers is singular. But how is it that the novelist who created some of the most memorable and modern female characters in literature had such troubled relationships with real women? 
  In this highly innovative book, acclaimed biographer Paula Byrne re-examines Hardy’s life through the eyes of the women who made him – mother, sisters, girlfriends, wives, muses. The story veers from shocking scenes such as his obsession with the sight of a woman hanged, to poignant vignettes of unfulfilled passion, to fascinating details of working women’s lives in the nineteenth century. 
  Hardy Women is the story of how the magnificent fictional women he invented would not have been possible without the hardship and hardiness of the real ones who shaped his passions and his imagination. It is only through understanding and witnessing these hardy women that we can truly enter the heart of this great novelist and poet. 
  Byrne, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the social history of Britain, exploring the lives of the hardy women who shaped Hardy's life and work. She presents a literary criticism of Hardy's work, focusing on his portrayal of women, and how his real-life relationships influenced his writing. 
  For fans of Lucy Worsley (Jane Austen at Home), Anne De Courcy (Snowdon), Olivia Laing (The Lonely City), Colm Tóibín (A Guest at the Feast), and Devoney Looser (The Making of Jane Austen).

  The Art of War

  Niccolo Machiavelli

  ""The Art of War" is a treatise by the Italian Renaissance political philosopher and historian Niccolò Machiavelli. Written between 1519 and 1520, it was published the following year and remains one of his most important works. Unlike the more widely read "The Prince" and "The Discourses", this book focuses specifically on military matters.    Here are the key features of "The Art of War":    Format: The book takes the form of a Socratic dialogue. Lord Fabrizio Colonna, perhaps Machiavelli's persona, declares the purpose at the outset: "To honor and reward virtù, not to have contempt for poverty, to esteem the modes and orders of military discipline, to constrain citizens to love one another, to live without factions, to esteem less the private than the public good." The military is likened to the roof of a palazzo protecting its contents.  Setting: The dialogues occur in the Orti Oricellari, classical-style gardens built by Bernardo Rucellai in the 1490s for Florentine aristocrats and humanists. The discussions take place between Cosimo Rucellai and "Lord Fabrizio Colonna," with other patrizi and captains of the recent Florentine republic.  Fabrizio's Wisdom: Fabrizio is enamored with the Roman Legions of the early to mid Roman Republic. He advocates adapting their strategies to the contemporary situation of Renaissance Florence. His knowledge dominates the discussions, often turning them into monologues where he details how an army should be raised, trained, organized, deployed, and employed.  Practical Insights: Machiavelli's theories are not merely theoretical; they are based on his observations during his fourteen years as secretary to the Chancery of Florence. He reported on the size, composition, weaponry, morale, and logistical capabilities of the most effective militaries of his day.  "The Art of War" serves as a guide to military leaders, including Frederick the Great and Napoleon, and remains an authoritative treatise on the fundamentals of warfare. Its clear and concise style stands in contrast to that of "The Prince"."
