DESCRIPTION
COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/B01KM5RACS Humans live in landscapes of
make-believe. We spin fantasies. We devour novels, films, and plays. Even sporting events and
criminal trials unfold as narratives. Yet the world of story has long remained an undiscovered and
unmapped country. It’seasy to say that humans are “wied”for story, but
why?In this delightful and original book, Jonathan Gottschall offers the first unified theory of
storytelling. He argues that stories help us navigate life’scomplex social
problems—jut as flight simulators prepare pilots for difficult situations. Storytelling has
evolved, like other behaviors, to ensure our survival.Drawing on the latest research in
neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology, Gottschall tells us what it means to be a
storytelling animal. Did you know that the more absorbed you are in a story, the more it changes
your behavior? That all children act out the same kinds of stories, whether they grow up in a slum
or a suburb? That people who read more fiction are more empathetic?Of course, our story instinct
has a darker side. It makes us vulnerable to conspiracy theories, advertisements, and narratives
about ourselves that are more “trthy”than true. National myths can also be terribly
dangerous: Hitler’sambitions were partly fueled by a story.But as Gottschall shows in this
remarkable book, stories can also change the world for the better. Most successful stories are
moral—thy teach us how to live, whether explicitly or implicitly, and bind us together around
common values. We know we are master shapers of story. The Storytelling Animal finally reveals
how stories shape us.
