Stories - Impacting Speaker and Listener: Stor e Telling January February March 2017

Chanticleer and Dan Russell
by Frank Adams, 1920
The New Year is here and it is time to begin sharing my Storytelling Magazine columns from 2017. The magazine is a membership benefit of the National Storytelling Network.  If you are interested in getting fabulous articles from around the world, featuring renowned storytellers and educators, along with my most recent column, join us at www.storynet.org.  I will not be sharing anything from any 2018 publications until 2019 rolls around.

This issue focused on the varied ways stories impact the speaker and the listener. Below are a few articles and a TEDX talk to add to the discussion.

The Importance of Telling Our Stories “Telling our stories is not an end in itself, but an attempt to release ourselves from them, to evolve and grow beyond them.”

The Power of Being Relatable - An interesting article on the use of story in business by young entrepreneurs.

The Science of Storytelling: What Listening to a Story Does To Our Brains - Exciting research on how the teller and the listener’s brain synchronize.

This Is Your Brain on Communication –  A TEDX talk by neuroscientist Uri Hasson who “researches the basis of human communication, and experiments from his lab reveal that even across different languages, our brains show similar activity, or become "aligned," when we hear the same idea or story.

Your Brain on Fiction – “Brain scans are revealing what happens in our heads when we read a detailed description, an evocative metaphor or an emotional exchange between characters. Stories, this research is showing, stimulate the brain and even change how we act in life.”
