Humans are natural-born story machines. And those stories - those narratives - can help bring us closer together, or push us further apart. Today is Election Day, and we seem more divided than we have in a long time, largely because we can't seem to agree on a shared story. So how can we find one? Is that even possible? Shaun Cammack of The Narratives Project has some special insights on the power and pliability of our cultural and political narratives.
