The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human by Jonathan Gottschall
3.0
The book is an easy read about stories and the history that humanity has with them.
I read this as an aside to reading about how to tell stories. As such, the book provides a nice ‘why’ while concurrently learning about the ‘how’ of storytelling.
I found myself familiar with many of the citations used in the book. It is an interesting read, but if you are a heavy reader into psychology (Thinking Fast and Slow and similar books) you may be also be familiar with the citations.
