Curated story audit

A full review of the 496-page PDF, including Part One, all 24 process chapters, and both appendices, retained 100 reusable story records. 93 became new canonical stories; 7 materially overlapping accounts were merged into existing theme stories instead of being duplicated.

Evidence boundary

These notes paraphrase stories as Greene presents them. They do not independently fact-check every historical claim. Memoir-derived anecdotes, novels, plays, myths, traditional narratives, disputed legends, and Greene’s psychological interpretations are labeled so a memorable story is not silently converted into verified history.

Ethical boundary

The book repeatedly describes deception, triangulation, grooming, coercive isolation, emotional volatility, and non-consensual conduct. These records preserve such episodes for recognition, media literacy, historical study, and writing—not as instructions. Persuasive effectiveness is kept separate from consent, honesty, reciprocity, proportionality, safety, and long-run trust.

Audit result

Exclusions included abstract advice, generic hypotheticals, isolated quotations, unnamed examples, mere name-checks, repeated fragments already consolidated into a fuller record, and Greene’s own personal material. A famous name alone did not qualify.

Selection rule

A passage was retained only when it contains:

1. a named notable person, established fictional character, traditional religious or classical figure, or comparably recognizable public example;
2. a concrete scene, choice, reversal, exchange, recurring practice, or concise life episode; and
3. a transferable claim useful in writing, teaching, speaking, critical media literacy, or reflection.

This is a story collection, not a quotation index or an endorsement ledger. PDF++ locators use the PDF viewer’s page numbers, which run 28 pages ahead of the printed Arabic page number once the main text begins.
