Storyworthy

这不是一本教你写小说或讲传奇的故事书。作者 Matthew Dicks 是五次获 Moth GrandSLAM 的讲书人，也是个小学老师，他真正想说的是：普通人平凡日子里的琐碎瞬间，本身就值得被讲述。全书的核心工具「生活作业」——每天记录让自己有情绪波动的时刻——被不少读者称为比感恩日志更管用，做了两个月仍坚持。它强调故事必须体现「随时间发生的改变」，并坚持只讲自己的经历。但争议也正源于此：有人读完全程只觉「流畅而平庸」，认为作者把 workshop 捧得过高，结构松散、缺乏连贯，冗长啰嗦。它适合那些愿意借故事重新打量自己人生的人；若期待速成的演讲技巧或戏剧性桥段，大概率会中途弃读。

Matthew Dicks is a bestselling novelist, thirty-six-time Moth StorySLAM champion, and five-time GrandSLAM champion. In addition to his widespread teaching, writing, and performing, he cofounded (with his wife) Speak Up, which produces sold-out storytelling performances throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York at least once a month. He lives in Newington, Connecticut.
