The key message in this book is not that 'stories' are a panacea. We cannot solve all our problems by living in a 'fantasy' world. However, the tools discussed in the book, can help the reader tell better stories, and by telling better stories, can lead us back onto a path of happiness and success.
The book follows the fictional character 'Jeff', described as a 'good guy with talent and high hopes'. Although the story is fictional, you may find it easy to relate. On Jeff's journey he meets an old friend 'Martin' and who teaches him about the three types of stories we tell ourselves, and how to 'flip the script' by asking the simple question - If this were a 'story' - What would the hero do? The answer helps us turn the event into something that we are a part of creating, not something that 'happened to us', and gives particle advice on how to make things work 'for us' not 'against us'.
