The spirit that motivates most great storytellers is ‘I want you to feel what I feel’, and the effective narrative is designed to make this happen. That’s how the information is bound to the experience and rendered unforgettable” Peter Gruber - The four truths of the storyteller - Harvard Review - via Resonate - Nancy Duarte
