In Peter Schranz's new collection, the Bridges family tries out a new diet, a documentarian discovers that drowning is an urban legend, and a regal sea monster can't tell the difference between a human and a chimpanzee. While the author apologizes that one of the stories' most significant body of water is a lake, he assures readers that the mighty oceans feature in all six tales.

Trapped in a dead-end job in his Ohio hometown, watching the girl of his dreams move on to a glamorous new life in a big city--Donald McDougal's aimlessness has held him back for a long time. When a lightning strike grants him superhuman powers, he jumps at his chance to finally be somebody. But the new abilities and the pursuit of superheroic fame come with a price tag, and it may not be one he can afford. This wry debut is at once a fanboy's homage to the history of superhero storytelling in America and a keen-eyed satire of those same stories, raising questions about race and privilege that are becoming impossible to ignore.

An American president watches a Hollywood movie about nuclear war, later he signs a treaty ordering the destruction of nearly 3 000 weapons of mass destruction. He claims the made-up story changed his mind about nuclear policy. A CEO tells a two-minute anecdote about Pavarotti that overhauls customer service. A man alters his personal story and changes his destiny. Taking you on an inspirational journey from the birth of humankind to the present, Justin Cohen shows how stories have driven the explosive speed of human progress and how you can use their power to change your life, your organisation and maybe even the world. "The best book on the power of story out there. There's the theory, there's the practice but above all Justin tells a fascinating story." Scott Friedman, Past President, National Speakers Association (USA) "A must for every leader." Brian Chernett, Founder and Executive Chairman, The Academy for Chief Executives, (UK)
