Back in the dim mists of time when Twitter was a bird sound and Facebook was two separate and unrelated words, storytelling was the first form of communication, and it's one of the first forms of communication that we encounter as children. We learn and retain stories before we can even read. As humans we crave stories. We love to hear stories and we love to share stories. There is a power in stories that can transform our lives - they capture our imagination and emotions, they can illustrate a teaching in a powerful way, and they can inspire and motivate us. Storytelling is an essential part of every culture worldwide. It is how civilizations pass on insights from one generation to the next. It is how religions pass on their sacred teachings. And it is how we as parents share our values and lessons. Want to make a point or raise an issue? Then tell a story! This hand-picked collection includes some of the most amazing stories ever told by famous business leaders, bestselling writers, public speakers and spiritual leaders. The book is designed to allow you to dip in and out of it, at your leisure, and in any order. Enjoy the book, and take the time to discover the possible meanings for your life.

"Change comes from one of two sources. First, we may be driven to change out of desperation. The second source that drives us to make changes in our lives is inspiration. I hope that is where you find yourself now - about to become sufficiently inspired to make major changes in your life. For over two decades, I have worked in the Personal Development arena, reviewing hundreds of books per year, and I am still astounded by the remarkable power of well spoken words. My own life has been completely transformed because of many of these 'Life Changing Quotes'. To me, the greatest contribution we can make to the life of another is to enable them to feel new hope, sense new emotions, and see new possibilities, and through this collection of inspiring and encouraging words, I trust this will be true for you."
