The Power Of Storytelling - Why stories are so important

Storytelling is universal and is as ancient as humankind. Before there was writing, there was storytelling. It occurs in every culture and from every age. It exists (and existed) to entertain, to inform, and to promulgate cultural traditions and values.
Stories help us feel a greater sense of connection to one another. Stories can increase our empathy and often help reinforce our highest ideals such as compassion and kindness. As we connect with the characters in a story, our brain releases oxytocin, often known as the “bonding” or “love” hormone. The newest research in neuroscience shows what brain structures are stimulated while sharing stories and gives numerous answers on how storytelling affects the brain.
Changing the narrative - changes our thinking patterns, changing the metaphor being the basis of the story - can literally change our mindset.
