Episode 279 - Storytelling

We all love books and sharing information through stories and anecdotes. But why does that even work? This week we review some excellent thought pieces on the subject of narrative and storytelling as valued behavior. We look at what makes cliffhangers so appealing, how stories make learning more fun, and whether you need to be practicing better anecdotes before work.
