"Storytelling - the art of connecting with, captivating and persuading one's listeners - is the key to courtroom success. For the new generation of lawyers raised on texting, tweeting, and e-mailing, the art of old-fashioned storytelling has proven elusive, as those who can truly teach this ancient art form are fast disappearing.

Thankfully, here comes Jonathan Shapiro - one of America's greatest trial lawyers and storytellers - to the rescue. A wonderful and witty raconteur, a storyteller extraordinaire, an Emmy Award-winning Hollywood writer, and a former Rhodes Scholar who became an expert in the art of persuasion, Jonathan shares his secrets in this extraordinary book - a must for every lawyer."

"During his presentation, Jonathan had our group laughing. Afterward, he had us thinking. He was insightful and humorous, on point and just plain clear. I hope we have a chance to hear him again."

"Lawyers, Liars, and the Art of Storytelling is a masterful book about storytelling by the master himself. Shapiro reveals the rewards of storytelling in the real and fictional legal worlds. Most importantly, he divulges the secrets to being a successful storyteller. It is a fun and interesting read for lawyers and non-lawyers alike."

“Jonathan Shapiro is one of the most charismatic, dynamic and eloquent speakers that we’ve ever hosted. He combines humor and intelligence in an incredibly memorable way.”

“Jonathan Shapiro is a terrific speaker: incisive, information, entertaining, and always engaging. We did modern-day trials of Biblical passages and Jonathan always was dazzlingly in his insights and wit.”

"Lawyers, Liars and the Art of Storytelling left me with a new respect for lawyers; but this book goes far beyond the courtroom. Anyone who wants something from any other human in life or business (especially non-profits) could learn a thing or two from this book.

We all have a story to tell and should never stop learning better ways to tell them. Jonathan Shapiro should teach an online course. I'd take it."

The art of advocacy is the art of taking the truth and fashioning it into a compelling story. No one does this better than Jonathan Shapiro. Shapiro jumps from story to story so quickly that you don't realize how much you've learned until the book ends, and suddenly the learning stops. This book persuasively teaches persuasion, but does so and with an unrivaled range that surveys everything from Aristotelian Theory to the marital status of Col. Klink on Hogan’s Heroes.

"Nobody I know - and I mean nobody - is funnier, smarter or has a wider breadth of references than my friend Jonathan Shapiro. His is a remarkable brain. Fortunately for us, he's chosen to use it for Good instead of Evil. This book is a bit of a miracle; informative, insightful, poetic and funny. Top to bottom, every page. I can't wait for his next book; I know he has more great stories to tell."

"Jonathan Shapiro's 'Lawyers. Liars, and the Art of Storytelling' is so intriguing and witty that for awhile I was certain that I had written it."

Alan Zweibel

"Storytelling is, at its core, about persuasion, and Jonathan Shapiro’s breezy narrative of the architecture of persuasion is a pretty close-to-perfect demonstration of that art."

Chief Judge Alex Kozinski

of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

"The first year of law school is designed to bleach away the stories. Jonathan Shapiro gives us the stories back. He demonstrates the power of storytelling and its inevitable importance. More important, he offers advice on how to do it well. Running at the subject from a variety of directions, he moves storytelling to center stage. If Jonathan did not exist, one might have to invent him in order to have this book written correctly."

Professor Bob Berring

former dean of Berkeley Law School

"The site is great, the videos informative, and can’t wait to read the Lawyers, Liars & Storytelling book."

Billy Walters
