014 Why Does Storytelling Matter? - How Researching Neuroscience Convinced Me
Manage episode 298308971 series 2955772
Yes, I love science fiction. But even more foundational than my affinity for this wonderful genre is the fact that I love storytelling. It's what I do for my day job (documentary film) and my side hustle (sci-fi novels and this podcast). So yes, I love storytelling. But turns out that there are deep reasons storytelling has been an integral part of every human society through the ages. It's because storytelling is the native language of our brains. In this episode, I unpack how doing research into neuroscience while writing my novel, Sleepwalker, ended up teaching me just how essential to our survival storytelling really is. So, get ready to geek out for a bit, because I'm about to dive into a crash course on science of storytelling.
