Who would we be without stories? Stories mold who we are, from our character to our cultural identity. They drive us to act out our dreams and ambitions, and shape our politics and beliefs. We use them to construct our relationships, to keep order in our law courts, to interpret events in our newspapers and social media. Storytelling is an essential part of what makes us human. There have been many attempts to understand what makes a good story from Joseph Campbell's well-worn theories about myth and archetype to recent attempts to crack the 'Bestseller Code'. But few have used a scientific approach. This is curious, for if we are to truly understand storytelling in its grandest sense, we must first come to understand the ultimate storyteller the human brain. In this scalpel-sharp, thought-provoking book, Will Storr demonstrates how master storytellers manipulate and compel us, leading us on a journey from the Hebrew scriptures to Mr Men, from Booker Prize-winning literature to box set TV. 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.… (mehr)

Wary of the author’s early repeated trope of “reality is an illusion generated by each individual brain as a collective hallucination” but there’s enough good info & ideas herein that I’m glad I didn’t give up earlier. ( )

Las historias moldean lo que somos, desde nuestro carácter hasta nuestra identidad cultural. Nos impulsan a realizar nuestros sueños y ambiciones y dan forma a nuestra política y nuestras creencias. Las utilizamos para construir nuestras relaciones, para mantener el orden en nuestros tribunales, para interpretar los acontecimientos en nuestros periódicos y medios de comunicación social. Contar historias es una parte esencial de lo que nos hace humanos. Ha habido muchos intentos de entender lo que constituye una buena historia, desde las teorías de Joseph Campbell sobre el mito y el arquetipo hasta los recientes intentos de descifrar el "Código del Bestseller". Pero pocos han utilizado un enfoque científico. Es curioso, porque si queremos entender de verdad la narración de historias en su sentido más amplio, primero debemos llegar a comprender al narrador por excelencia: el cerebro humano. En este libro, que invita a la reflexión, Will Storr demuestra cómo nos manipulan y obligan los maestros de la narración, llevándonos a un viaje que va desde las escrituras hebreas hasta Mr. Men, desde la literatura ganadora del Premio Booker hasta la televisión de pago, con ejemplos que van desde Harry Potter hasta Jane Austen y Alice Walker, desde el drama griego hasta las novelas rusas y los cuentos populares de los nativos americanos, desde el Rey Lear hasta Breaking Bad y los cuentos infantiles. Aplicando una deslumbrante investigación psicológica y una neurociencia de vanguardia a los fundamentos de nuestros mitos y arquetipos, muestra cómo podemos utilizar estas herramientas para contar mejores historias y dar sentido a nuestro caótico mundo moderno.

Premessa: questo libro non è sullo storytelling. C'è qualcosa nell'appendice, con la teorizzazione delle cinque parti di cui i libri sono composti e la lettura di come si può migliorare un'idea di base; ma il vero tema è quello letteralmente indicato dal titolo: cosa ci dice la scienza sul fatto che noi umani amiamo raccontarci delle storie. Devo dire che l'immagine iniziale, dove Storr fa notare che noi non vediamo / sentiamo nulla ma è il nostro cervello che semplicemente impara a "farsi dei film", è stata per me davvero rivelatrice. Più debole invece la parte finale, forse perché un po' troppo ripetitiva riguardo agli esempi di opere lette dal punto di vista dello storytelling. Nella traduzione di Daria Restani mi lasciano dubbioso alcune scelte stilistiche, come il "piuttosto che" alla milanese nell'introduzione. ( )

This is a great insight into the neuroscience of why we relate stories and how narrative creates the world around us. I found the science compelling. The only reason I did not rate this book higher is hat parts of the story around the science seemed incomplete. The concept is fully formed it just need slightly more fleshing out at times. Otherwise this is a great read and key information to understanding our world. ( )

I finished this excellent book this evening. It is a wonderful description of how we react to stories. It is full of information from psychological studies and examples from books and movies.

It explains how interdependent plots and characters are, and how stories have different levels, the plot being the surface and the protagonist's emotional and psychological response to the events of the story being the underlying level.

Apart from discussing our psychological response to stories the book also describes the psychological reactions and experiences of all of us in real life, and how our brain develops a neural model of the world in our early years that will solidify in early adulthood and dictate our world view and reactions into the future. Storr uses this to help explain how we can give fictional characters a degree of credibility and enable readers to connect with them.

I read John Yorke's excellent book, "Into the Woods", last year. It was about the structure of story. When I picked up "The Science of Storytelling" I was a bit dubious as to how good it might be and how it would measure up to Yorke's earlier publication. The content quickly proved the value of the book, its insights, and its useful advice. Storr referred to other writers on writing but held Yorke in very high regard. The other writer he referred to favourably was "Christopher Booker"; his book "The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories" was recommended with Yorke's "Into the Woods" as companion books to his own. I can state categorically that "Into the Woods" and "The Science of Storytelling" are well suited as a pair. I have Booker's book but have not read it yet. It will not be long before I do so.

I would recommend "The Science of Storytelling" to anyone interested in storytelling, either from the viewpoint of writing fiction, understanding fiction, or telling a story in a business context. It is also a help in understanding conflict and people's reactions to opinions that do not necessarily agree with their own. ( )
