Recenzii
How Stories Change Us offers an authoritative overview of the interdisciplinary science of stories. Reese draws on her more than 20-year longitudinal study, "Origins of Memory," which she conducted starting in the mid-1990s. Throughout her book, she addresses the fundamental role of the brain in the way people receive and tell stories. She synthesizes several conclusions about story preferences and how stories from both fiction and real life can act as a force for human connection, compassion, understanding, and identity. This book is not about the history of stories or the art of storytelling; rather, it articulates the latest scientific research on the role that stories—all types and via all delivery mechanisms—play in our lives every day. Reese's book is informative, engaging, and concisely written. Recommended. All readers.
Reese provides a superb synthesis of our scientific understanding of stories, which she weaves together with tales from her own life like a true storyteller. An engaging and stimulating read—you will learn a lot about why you love the stories you do and the ways they shape you.
Elaine Reese's masterful book, ow Stories Change Us, provides a rich overview of the ways that stories and reading can alter the ways we think and connect with others. Trained as a developmental psychologist, Reese walks us through the science of narrative—from hearing bedtime stories to reading novels. Her work has important lessons about reading in the twenty-first century, including introducing adults to the role that social media is playing with today's children, tweens, and teens. I loved this book. It's the kind of book that stays with you whether you are a parent, a storyteller, a budding writer, or a researcher.
As a psychological scientist who loves stories, Elaine Reese is the perfect person to tell the story of the science of stories. In this engaging and deeply researched book, she describes the development of our relationship with stories across the human life course, beginning even in the womb as we hear our mother's narrating voice. Stories change us, and they teach us how to be human. With great authority and compassion, Professor Reese conveys abiding insights about human development, parenting, gender, and family relationships, and she provides practical advice regarding the promise and the perils of storytelling in today's world.
