We’re kicking off Season 4 with an all-star guest, Paul J. Zak, neuroeconomist and storytelling expert. Zak studies the neuroscience behind storytelling and is full of knowledge about how narrative form affects our brains and informs our actions. Listen in to hear more about neuroeconomics (the study of how people make decisions), the science behind storytelling, and why narrative arcs are almost necessary to incite action. Cheers to Season 4 & thank you to all you wonderful listeners! Follow Paul on Twitter @PaulJZakAnd check out his website pauljzak.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
