Magic of Modern Metaphor Summary

Magic of Modern Metaphor: Walking with the Stars by David Hodgson

A wonderful collection of stories for teachers, trainers, parents and thinkers sharing ancient wisdom through a modern relationship between grandson and grandad. The recollections chart the growth of the child from teenager to adult under the guidance of his grandad. The grandad provides answers to the questions he is asked with stories, challenges, games and questions. Questions such as 'How can I be more popular?', 'What should I do when I leave school?, 'Why is Aunty Joan miserable all the time?' are answered partly through the grandad's extensive contact with stars such as Bruce Forsyth, Allan Bennet and even Ant and Dec. Warm, funny and inspiring stories to be read individually or as a whole story by adults or children.

About David Hodgson

David Hodgson is a training consultant and author who works with teachers and students across the UK and abroad. He has written a number of books to help teachers and students thrive in the classroom and beyond. What are we called to do in our lives and how can we discover and express our personal and professional genius and purpose? Not easy questions but Nick has been struggling with and exploring them for himself and with others through his writing, editing, and storytelling, as well as in workshops, seminars and coaching sessions with individuals, educational institutions, professional bodies, organisations, and the arts for the last several decades. These days his primary professional passions catalyse around two areas. Firstly, the development of shared narratives that explore how schools, NGOs, and large organisations would do well to be more fully human, more self-organising and self-managing and less stuck in the old paradigms of autocracy, hierarchy, ego, power and control. Secondly, how can people entering the Third Act of their lives see their future less as a surrender into retirement and more as an opportunity to transition into a generative and creative period of contribution and personal exploration of their life's true purpose? In a whole variety of exciting ways, these two areas are both evolutionary and deeply interconnected.
