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.
Jonathan Gottschall teaches English at Washington & Jefferson College and is one of the leading figures in the movement toward a more scientific humanities. 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."

評分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!

評分怎麼說呢?開頭讀著,覺得有點牽強的趕腳。。。嗯,也許需要慢慢讀完。有一部分非常認同的就是:我們自己講的自己的故事,就算迴憶吧,不是精確的事實,但這樣的人生故事讓我們過得更好

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...
