Standout Quotes:

Stories are never perceived as an attempt to influence. They're never perceived as an attempt to actually get somebody to do something. Know that our bodies are hardwired to go into a trance. The moment we hear a story, trance states creates a flow. We don't want to break the flow of the story.
Everything human beings do is based on those two patterns. Your neurology when whenever you have an experience is always trying to figure out what happened first and what happened next.
Priming is not mind control. Priming is predisposition. Priming works only if the person actually is in the mood to do it.

Key Takeaways:

Stories change attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors in the background. So when you experience a story, there's going to be the protagonist, the antagonist, and the things you want to embed are actually in the background.
All stories are constructed in that same sequences that something happened to cause something else. Your whole neurology is in the form of a narrative or a sequence of cause and effect linkages. When you start talking about cause and effect, your brain processes everything else as true.
Priming is not meant to be used for mind control. It is a predisposition. And it will only work if the person you are priming is has your full attention.
