Goodreads asked Lyssa deHart:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lyssa deHart I have been working with people for over 20 years. Through those years I have thought of writing a book. I didn't take action, and the thoughts percolated in my mind, some I captured on paper, some became blog posts. Then in July 2016, the time was right, and I started to write the book. It had been in my mind, and I had played with ideas and mulled concepts over, I had a pretty clear picture of what I wanted to say and how I wanted to support people. As I was writing new ideas showed up, and I was able to incorporate new thinking into the book as well. The idea specifically for StoryJacking came out of a conversation I was having with my husband about our internal narratives and how to transform the stories that were not working. From that conversation, the threads of how I wanted the book to weave ideas together began to gel.
