Stories and Heart: Unlock the Power of Personal Stories to Create a Life You Love
UNEXPECTED INSIGHTS from an UNCONVENTIONAL BUSINESS BOOK
Each of us has the power to create a life we love. This is the core belief of Build-A-Bear CEO, Sharon Price John, and one that makes Stories & Heart stand out among today’s business books. Revealed in events and experiences that shaped her life, Sharon Price John assembles a blueprint for making meaning in modern times.
More than candid stories that educate and inspire, Sharon guides readers through her framework for using their personal stories to enact meaningful change in their lives. Each chapter begins with a themed story―like setting productive goals, or challenging limiting perceptions―then proceeds to a “Questions from the Heart” section that creates space for contemplation. The chapters conclude with a “Create Your Own Story” exercise, designed to help readers identify the power of their personal stories, take control of their journey, and create a life they love.

Thank you to Goodreads, the author, and the publisher for the giveaway copy of this book.
I enjoyed this. Admittedly, I was in it for the m9tivational material over the personal story at first. But her stories flowed nicely and illustrated the points she was making.
I read this a little for myself and a little for my work as a recovery coach. While the book is focused on careers, even Sharon Price John says what she discusses is applicable to all areas of life. I've even used some of her discussions as jumping off points to spark discussions in the groups I lead.
This really is a fantastic book that is easily understood and easily transferred to other aspects of life beyond the focus of the book, just like the author says. Several times I was caught saying, "You know, I never thought of it that way." And that is the mark of a great book!
I have no problem saying a great book has some flaws. The only flaw here was that sometimes the personal stories seemed to go on for just a bit too long, like the point was made, but we still kept reading what the point was. But that isn't a major flaw that takes points away. It only made the juiciest parts - where she discussed the skills and activities to reach our goals - all the more better.
If you want to expand your future and work on yourself, your career, your relations, whatever, this book is a fun way to do that. I absolutely recommend this book.

Stories And The Heart, by Sharon Price John, is a nonfiction, almost autobiographical account of Ms. John’s life. The stories she shares are entertaining, self-evaluating excerpts from her mishaps. These stories include great advice the reader may choose to take advantage of, or not. I believe this book adds an optimistic point of view we all can learn from. Better yet, each chapter ends with detailed exercises to help the reader to decide what they want, and how to get the most out of their life or career. This chapter training set the book apart from other self-help books.
Through John’s personal exploitation, this book helps the reader to contemplate their own life and life decisions. John’s positive attitude is contagious. And uplifting. There is hope spouting from this book.

Expected nothing less from the CEO of Build-A-
Bear. It's a collection of personal stories that not only touch the heart of the readers but also educate and inspire us. Sharing personal stories helps people connect and indirectly learn from them. Sharon Price John shares personal experiences and stories to help shape our lives, find meaning and purpose to our daily lives.
Each chapter is structured as a story and
reflection in the end. My favourite one is Chapter 8 Forge Your Fairy Tale, combining vision and steps into attaining that dream was a perfect plan. It's amazing how positive the author is with her perspective in life, it's kind of infectious reading through these chapters. Making positive things out of a challenging situation is a talent that everybody should be able to do. I loved reading this book.

Stories and Heart: Unlocking the Power of Personal Stories to Create a Life You Love by Sharon Price John is a motivational business guide written by the Build-A-Bear CEO intended to help entrepreneurs and business leaders create and follow meaningful business practices.
The book is very easy to read and follow, as each chapter follows same format. They begin with true stories, which I liked having included because it provided real life examples of each idea, and also each story was rather relatable and held value. I also like the, “Create Your Own Story” section at the end of each chapter. These sections allow you to paste in your own life experiences. Some were difficult to think of, but it is a worthwhile exercise.

“Stories and Heart” by Sharon Price John is a motivational business book like no other. Rather than focusing only on the subject of how to successfully run a business, the author explores a wide range of experiences that gave her clues on how best to run a happy life. By reading her stories based on real happenings from the author’s life, we can already find a lot of inspiration. However, what really sets the book apart for me are the two additional sections that end each chapter. The first section is called “a question from the heart” and the second one gets one writing down one’s own dreams and goals and to me, this is ultimately the most important and inspiring aspect of Sharon John’s life-changing book.

Stories and Heart by author Sharon Price John is an unconventional book on leadership training. It is basically about getting the life that everyone wants, with the meaningful changes that are necessary, from the personal stories of each one.
I really liked the unique approach of each chapter from different concepts: Goals and Gumption, Perspective and Possibility, Clarity and Conviction, Faith and Action, Confidence, Perfectionism and Empowerment, Dreaming and Doing, Failure, Challenge and Change, Grit and Growth, Direction & Drive, Trust, among others. Each chapter proposes a theme, a story, a reflection and an exercise to create your own related stories.
This is, without a doubt, a book that invites to reflection and offers the challenge of working on oneself!

Stories and Heart is an inspiring and thought-provoking book written by Sharon Price John. I liked this book because it is unique and original in the way it approaches the different concepts and ideas the author wanted to transmit. It is a fascinating mixture of memoir, self-help guide and business book. The author explains how we can use our own story to reflect and shape the life we want and she explains it by narrating periods of her life and allowing readers a moment of self-reflection after each of the chapters. This is a wonderful book for anyone who may be in search of improvement, well-being and happiness. I strongly recommend it.

Stories of the heart
While this is a book of stories, it would be a mistake to underestimate it. Author Sharon John, CEO at Build a Bear, wrote this book with the intention to help us figure out how we can use our(and the stories in this book) personal stories to create the life we want and need. To this end each chapter covers different topics and has questions and exercises for you to complete at the end of each one. This helps you think about the story in the chapter and how you can best apply the lesson to your life. I really liked this book and think it will be very helpful to me in changing some things in my life.

This book is extremely misleading. It is definitely a business based book even though in the introduction she says it is not. Not being a person with this sort of interest made it extremely boring and difficult to read. I made it through about 75% of the book and then had to stop. It also started to feel like she was just bragging about all of her accomplishments so I completely lost interest.
If you’re someone who is looking to climb the ranks in a corporate world, this book may be better suited for you.
