具体描述
Humans live in landscapes of make-believe: we spin fantasies, we devour novels, films, and plays, and even our sporting events and criminal trials unfold as narratives. Yet the world of story has long remained an undiscovered and unmapped country. It’s easy to say that humans are “wired” for story, but why?
In this delightful and original book, Jonathan Gottschall offers the first unified theory of storytelling. He argues that stories are a way of rehearsing life’s complex social problems.Our penchant for story has evolved, like other behaviors, to enhance our survival, and, crucially, that of our social group. (In fact, studies show that people who read fiction are more empathetic.) Gottschall explores the deep pattern in children’s make-believe, and what that reveals about story’s prehistoric origins. He shows how a story was partly responsible for Hitler’s rise, how schizophrenia is an example of the story mind run amok, and how successful fiction is inherently moral. We are master shapers of story. The Storytelling Animal finally reveals how stories shape us.
作者简介

The author or editor of five scholarly books, Gottschall’s work has been prominently featured in The New York Times Magazine, Scientific American, and The Chronicle of Higher Education, among others. Steven Pinker has called him "a brilliant young scholar" whose writing is "unfailingly clear, witty, and exciting."

读后感
雖說這是本科普書籍，作者引用許多生物學、心理學及神經科學的諸多觀點（這幾門學問也是我興趣所在），試圖去解釋人類其實是生活在故事中的生物，故事幾乎觸及生活中的所有層面；但作者是英文系教授，詮釋故事的內涵原就是其本行，而畢竟非科學家，其於書中所引述的科學論證並...
评分前言 说故事、听故事不只是休闲娱乐 统计学家都同意，只要能够抓到一群长生不老的猴子，把牠们跟打字机关在一起， 任牠们不断狂敲键盘，经过很长很长一段时间之后，这些猴子终会誊写出一本完美的《哈姆雷特》副本，每一个句号、逗点、“誓言”几乎都会落在正确的位置上。不过，...

beauty instinct , spent 的续集
评分感觉没有预想的这么好
评分Intensely insightful! In his uniquely witty and open style, J.G. explains, in my view, one of the most profound human instincts - the story-telling and story-consuming instinct. Though the books is short, it also concisely explores themes like sleep, national myths, and games. Totally worth the time!
