Synopsis

This book considers why stories matter to us, and what separates a compelling narrative from one that falls flat. Taking a scientific route, Will Storr examines how accomplished storytellers shape attention and influence the way we think and feel.

Drawing on psychological research and neuroscience, it connects modern findings to the foundations of myths and archetypes. Alongside exploring how storytelling works, it sets out how these ideas can be applied to craft stronger stories and to better understand the disorder of contemporary life.
