How To Harness The Power Of Storytelling Science

“How is it possible for you to be so easily tricked by something so simple as a story? It all comes down to one core thing: emotional investment. The more emotionally invested you are in anything in your life, the less critical and the less objectively observant you become.

David JP Phillips is a presentation skills coach and this TedX talk makes me think he’s probably a good one.
