Change the story. Change your life.

From imagined catastrophes to play-by-play interpretations of others’ behavior we are expert storytellers quick to fill in the blanks. Unfortunately all too often our behavior is determined by baseless suspicions which trigger needless pain. Real life passes us by as we fall for powerful fantasies of our own creation.

By taking control of our reactions to the people around us we can learn how to be truly present in our lives as we nurture the relationships that matter most. Based on more than 20 years of research and experience Gornto demonstrates how family narratives media and past experiences shape compelling story lines that blind us to reality and wreak havoc on our relationships. Through persuasive examples he models fresh life-enhancing approaches to engaging with friends business associates and loved ones alike.

Don’t waste your life making up stories.

The Stories We Tell Ourselves is a wake-up call and a compassionate accessible guide to transforming your relationships—and your life.
