Why do we love stories?
Manage episode 333512160 series 2840227
We all love stories. Whether they're told through books, YouTube, or by our grandparents. Humans have been storytellers for thousands of years. We are all familiar with legends and fairytales from all over the world like Aladdin, Cinderella, Chinese Dragons, The Trojan War, and mythologies such as Greek, Celtic, and Indian. What makes these stories so great that we are utterly captivated by them?
In this episode, I talk about the structure of stories and break down the structure of stories in some movies that we may all know such as The Hobbit and The Matrix. I discuss some fundamental story structures like the Hero's journey and Freytag's pyramid. I also discuss the importance of storytelling in business and why we should strive to become better storytellers.
