He addresses the psychological and even spiritual aspect of storytelling more than the scientific, but his title is only a handy hook on which to hang his complex appreciation for how story affects people’s emotions and mental processes. Storr sets out to inform and inspire writers and would-be writers in all forms. He suggests that – whether you realize it or not – you view your life as a narrative that you construct based on who you are at your core. He examines how humans create reality in their stories. He posits stories as the lingua franca of the mind, fundamental to the way people operate in the world. As expected from an experienced, acclaimed storyteller, Storr proves uniquely qualified to explain the power and value of narrative. Award-winning journalist Will Storr also wrote Selfie, The Heretics and The Hunger and the Howling of Killian Lone.
