The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human by Jonathan Gottschall
4.0
An interesting look into the psychology of story: its role in shaping history, its possible evolutionary roles, and where it manifests.
Could've done without the aside into gender essentialist biological determinism, and the book blithely promotes the left-brain, right-brain myth without acknowledging any of the science about neuroplasticity from the last 40 years. Odd choice.
