N2 - Book review. Storytelling is big business. The past few years have seen the growth of such forums as TED Talks, podcasts, storytelling festivals and workshops. Even some advertisers and public relations consultants now give themselves the job title ‘storyteller’. The editors of this book claim we are living in an ‘era of narrativisation’, which is not a bad thing. But storytelling’s universality does bring with it the need for critical reflection. Of particular interest to this edition is the use of narrative communication and storytelling in human sciences research, counselling and education. The book is essentially broken into three sections addressing each of these fields of practice, plus a comprehensive introduction written by Sjoerd- Jeroen Moenandar. While the introduction focuses on theory, the remaining chapters largely draw on case studies from a variety of countries.
