Fairy Tales Can Change Your Life: Unlock your future with creative exercises inspired by storytelling

This book is your personal guide to the life-changing potential of fairytales and storytelling. Use them to gain confidence, fight your fears, take control of your love story and discover your path to self-fulfilment. From Sleeping Beauty, a symbol of transformation, to the rescuer Prince Charming, and the scary, shapeshifting wolf in Little Red Riding Hood, the characters and narratives in these stories are embedded deep within our imaginations and psyches from childhood. When you apply their power to your everyday life, they can help you understand what really makes you tick, teach you valuable lessons and allow you to rediscover the power within.

Writer and professional storyteller Alison Davies offers guidance and creative, practical exercises for working with the symbols, lessons, characters and storylines in fairytales, alongside specially commissioned illustrations from Paul Oakley. Activities include:

storyboarding your own fairy tale to boost your creativity, devising a quest to build energy and confidence, identifying your inner hero to help with problem solving, learning how to be your own fairy godmother in order to bring the changes you want into your life.
