The Neuroscience of Good Storytelling — Paul J. Zak Future of StoryTelling (FoST)

Zak says yes— and he's studied 50,000 brains to back up his claims. Paul shares science-based insights on what makes stories effective from his new book, "Immersion: The Science of the Extraordinary and the Source of Happiness," on this episode of the FoST podcast.
