Themes: Power of Story, Culture Transformation, Education, Neuroscience of narrative
Summary: Welcome to the kick-off episode for Season 2! This week I’m talking to Dr. Angus Fletcher, professor and author of Wonderworks: The 25 Most Powerful Inventions in the History of Literature, about the science behind the great stories across time. Story is a powerful technology for spurring personal growth and improving our well-being. In this conversation we talk about the process of creating powerful organizational cultures, the science that our education systems neglect, the limitations of inherited societal gender norms, and how sharing stories can ultimately help us improve every aspect of our world.
