The power of story

Researchers have examined the power of story and discovered the way in which stories provide a framework that has the capacity to transcend language for universal understanding. According to Joe Lazauskas, ā€œStories illuminate the city of our mindā€¦stories make us remember and they make us care.ā€ In this episode we dive deep into the power of story to explore the ways in which stories play a role in our emotions and in our relationships with others.

YOUR story is one of the most important ones it seems. By listening and learning from otherā€™s stories we certainly could benefit in ways we seemed to be missing. One of my favorite speakers, Carl Segan once said ā€œthis little blue dotā€ is the only place we can live at present in this solar system. We have to make it work. I guess that is a story that we could all live by. Cheers.
