Summary:

As heard on NPR—a wondrous nationwide celebration of our shared humanity

StoryCorps founder and legendary radio producer Dave Isay selects the most memorable stories from StoryCorps’ collection, creating a moving portrait of American life.

The voices here connect us to real people and their lives—to their experiences of profound joy, sadness, courage, and despair, to good times and hard times, to good deeds and misdeeds. To read this book is to be reminded of how rich and varied the American storybook truly is, how resistant to easy categorization or stereotype. We are our history, individually and collectively, and Listening Is an Act of Love touchingly reminds us of this powerful truth.

wonderful!

I bought this for my father's 79th birthday. He loved it! He's rationing himself to one story per day to make it last longer. The narratives here are delightful.

Stories You Could Learn From
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

There is a story for everyone in this book. This book is composed of stories from regular people like you and me, and even if you didn't like all of the book, there has to be at LEAST one story that touched you, or made you laugh, or think or feel SOME emotion. Of course there were some stories that I liked more than others.

What I would have liked to read though was an interview of a person who looked middle-eastern and how they were treated after the 9/11 attacks.

I had a paperback copy of this book which I read first. I love the book and wanted to share it with friends and family as we traveled this summer as a hostess type gift. When the book came in hard back I was surprised but then thought the paper pages quality was not so good and there was a black marker line made on each which didn't make for a good gift. (Marty Lightle)

Okay, but I prefer the audio interviews
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3

I really like listening to Story Corp interviews on NPR. However, I'm not all that impressed by this collection. It's fine, but it's nothing outstanding. I just think that transcripts of interviews are not as touching to read as they are to hear. These aren't "essays," after all. They're merely people telling their respective stories, and the original medium for them doing so is a tape recorder, not a word processor. As such, the "translation" into print is not as effective (for me. at least). Also, I know it must have been tough to choose among all the great Story Corps interviews, but there were some I've heard that are so moving, and it would have been great to have those included, but they weren't.

Wonderful insights!
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

StoryCorps is a much needed concept in our "hurry-up" world. Taking the time to listen to others helps us to see that we are all one, just diffferent expressions of that oneness. This book is a great way to connect with the important people in our lives--it should be shared by as many as possible!
