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 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.”
