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.
If you didn't believe before that the storyteller can be both healer and magician, you could hardy not believe it after reading this book. I feel the better, and the wiser, for having read this inspiring text.
The power of Coming Home to Story lies in Mead's passion and adventure, his faith in stories and storytelling as a source of creativity, healing and sustenance.
