Why stories make us human and how to tell them better.
There have been many attempts to understand what makes a good story ? but few have used a scientific approach.
In this incisive, thought-provoking book, award-winning writer Will Storr demonstrates how master storytellers manipulate and compel us.
Applying dazzling psychological research and cutting-edge neuroscience to the foundations of our myths and archetypes, he shows how we can use these tools to tell better stories ? and make sense of our chaotic modern world.
