The gist of the whole thing is this:
> I'm not talking about making things entertaining. But it does matter how you phrase things. You can mistakenly make a complex thing sound simple, and you can make a simple thing sound complex.
Which is obviously true. Storytelling might be a way to deliver that message more clearly in some cases. But to be honest, the sections where the author starts to tell a story, I just glanced over.
Storytelling is overrated – in interviews, in marketing, in non-fictional books.
Clear communication is key.

- taveras 3y agoNarrative and clear communication aren’t mutually exclusive, but they are difficult to balance. Storytelling is a skill.

Because it dictates aspects of it. the language used, the embellishments added/removed, delivery method, the actors etc must be carefully crafted. Some stories are short and straight to the point. I had a colleague where if the analogies are used to as part of the story told, the message is not full understood by him.
