Unlock the art of storytelling with Michael Lewis in his new class, “...

Unless you have a story, you don't have a way to persuade people. In this class, we're going to talk about the elements of story and how you might start a story. If you're in a job interview, if you've got to give a speech, you've got to go to a dinner party. If you get better at it, you get better at life. Michael Lewis is one of the country's best-known nonfiction writers, author of 20 books overall, three of which have been turned into Oscar-nominated films. The broad meta-hack is that if you think about your beginning and your ending when you start, it's amazing how a lot of this stuff starts to tell you how to lay the story out. One of the things that will strike you about my books is that almost every subject was someone who was basically ignored. So pay attention to the unusual, powerful interest you have in other human beings. That's the gold. If you learn how to tell a story better, it gives you powers you didn't have in all sorts of places. I'm Michael Lewis, and this is Masterclass.
