New research is lending texture and credence to what generations of storytellers have known in their bones – that books, poems, movies, and real-life stories can affect the way we think and even, by extension, the way we act. What kind of effect do powerful narratives really have on our brains? And how might a story-inspired perspective translate into behavioural change?
