In this episode I chat with author Will Storr about his latest book, THE SCIENCE OF STORYTELLING. We chat about the many books he's written, covering topics from ghosthunting to nazis to narcissists, and how they led him to his latest book, an investigation into why we tell stories, and how we can use the science to tell better ones. This is a great episode to listen to if you want to know: - why do we tell stories? - what elements does a good story have? - how can I hook readers?
