Founder of Eco-Catholic, Kieran O'Brien, has just launched a new book inspired by Laudato Si' and Pope Francis' invitation to 'read reality in a trinitarian key' (LS, 239).

In this book, O'Brien offers a new motivation model in which we can build long-term positive change.

It is called Integral Motivation Theory, and it works by integrating motivation with values and purpose - the three core primitives that shape all of our communications.

If you are interested in taking your storytelling to the next level, and how to work with metanarratives, download your copy here: https://ministory.co.uk/beginners-guide/

We are excited to launch our new book: 'A Beginner's Guide to Master Storytelling and Integral Motivation Theory'.

This book is a huge undertaking, exploring some of the most challenging problems we face today, including the social and ecological crises. In this book we suggest the reason that we have not been able to create real change on these global issues is because we have not changed the metanarrative from which we operate.

Only by 'telling a new story' at the metanarrative level can we ever hope to bring about the changes we seek.

This book contains:

A new storytelling theory - based on metanarratives and how to work with the implicit narratives that make up half of all communications.

A new values theory - explore how values behave differently when they are communicated implicitly and how to work with values at the metanarrative level of our communications.

A new motivation theory - called Integral Motivation Theory- which integrates values, motivation and purpose into a more coherent motivation theory which opens the door to working with the higher stages and orientations of intrinsic motivation.

And so much more.

This book is FREE to download as we are keen to start a new conversation on and , and how a new storytelling approach can radically transform everything that we do.
