They drive us to act out our dreams and ambitions and mold our beliefs. Storytelling is an essential part of what makes us human. So, how do master storytellers compel us? In The Science of Storytelling, award-winning writer and acclaimed teacher of creative writing Will Storr applies dazzling psychological research and cutting-edge neuroscience to our myths and archetypes to show how we can write better stories, revealing, among other things, how storytellers\u2014and also our brains\u2014create worlds by being attuned to moments of unexpected change.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Will Storr\u2019s superbly chosen examples range from Harry Potter to Jane Austen to Alice Walker, Greek drama to Russian novels to Native American folk tales, King Lear to Breaking Bad to children\u2019s stories. With sections such as \u201cThe Dramatic Question,\u201d \u201cCreating a World,\u201d and \u201cPlot, Endings, and Meaning,\u201d as well as a practical, step-by-step appendix dedicated to \u201cThe Sacred Flaw Approach,\u201d The Science of Storytelling reveals just what makes stories work, placing it alongside such creative writing classics as John Yorke\u2019s Into the Woods: A Five-Act Journey into Story and Lajos Egri\u2019s The Art of Dramatic Writing. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Enlightening and empowering, The Science of Storytelling is destined to become an invaluable resource for writers of all stripes, whether novelist, screenwriter, playwright, children\u2019s writer, or writer of creative or traditional nonfiction.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you want to write a novel or a script, read this book.
