Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and his stories

Recently I received an e-newsletter from Chris Clarke-Epstein. She speaks/teaches on change and always has some good words of wisdom. In this particular issue it wasn't so much the change point that caught my eye but the opening sentences. Chris says that she always liked reading booklets from Dr. Norman Vincet Peale because they started with a story that she enjoyed "never realizing that I was learning a lesson."

That is the beauty of stories, they teach without preaching. We enjoy and learn at the same time. Stories tend to relax us and entertain us which puts us in a great mind for learning.
