why reading?

Stories are the oldest communication form

We encounter stories on a daily basis  Fictional stories • Novels • Soap operas • Plays • Films  News stories • TV news • Newspapers • Online  Personal stories • Conversations • Social media

We think in stories Personal stories make up 65% of our conversations

Our brains are hardwired for stories… We absorb stories more than other kinds of information
