Through real-life examples, the authors explain how adopting this outlook has positive effects on one's health, relationships, and career, and gives new insights into world environmental concerns, peace issues, and other major social problems.

Lincoln But Trump - Narrative...

PhD Randy Olson

THE NARRATIVE DIAGNOSIS: I have some bad news for you — your AF (AND Frequency) is a bloated 3.8%, your N.I. (Narrative Index, BUT/AND ratio) is an anemic 4. There’s a real risk of you boring an audience to death.
The ABT Narrative Template, already famous for its use in “Cat Herding" and “silo busting," now has two very powerful metrics — the AF and the NI.
In this ground-breaking and original book, Lincoln But Trump, Randy Olson introduces a whole new quantitative component to both narrative structure and, crucial for today’s world, messaging.
Here, for the first time ever, are two very simple but powerful “narrative metrics” that now make possible the “narrative diagnosis” of content. The metrics do for storytelling the same thing a doctor does to assess your health — i.e. they tell you if you have a problem.
Is it quackery for simpletons? A fair question, but just look at the simple patterns that emerge, starting with the metrics for the legendary 1858 Lincoln-Douglas Debates. The data are as clear as "night and day" (the same comparison a reporter used to describe the two candidates). The results have been sitting there waiting to be discovered for 160 years.
It’s a whole new way to look at messaging and narrative strength for both the political and historical worlds.
- Park Howell, Host, The Business of Story Podcast
Following the basic ABT (And, But, Therefore) form that Olson has been researching for 15 years, he outlines the need for a quantitative approach. He introduces the two metrics, then applies them to the novel idea of, “Narrative Forensics” in which hypotheses can be tested by calculating the two metrics for various materials.
Using the two narrative metrics Olson shows how you can diagnose your own narrative strength, then work to improve it.

Carriacou String Band Serenade -...

Rebecca S. Miller

Every year, on a weekend before Christmas, the small Caribbean island of Carriacou, Grenada, holds its annual Parang Festival, featuring concerts, performances of local quadrille dance, Hosannah band (a cappella singing) competitions, and the climactic string band competition. Born in the years leading up to Grenada's 1979 Socialist Revolution, the Parang Festival today offers a vehicle for Carriacouans to articulate and assert a progressive understanding of local cultural identity as well as a regional, pan-Caribbean belonging. Rebecca S. Miller examines the varying impact that factors such as cultural ambivalence, globalization, and technology have had on the performance of Carriacou's folk and traditional music and dance forms. Using archival sources and current ethnography, she illuminates the enduring significance of the Parang Festival to illustrate the social and political history of Carriacou as well as this culture's contemporary process of modernization. The book includes a web link allowing the reader to listen to a variety of musical examples.
