“Did you know that by telling someone a story-instead of spewing out a mouth full of data-that you can engage a much larger portion of their brain?” She asks this prior to spewing out data and not telling a story. :-/
Hi! As the speaker here, I completely agree and would definitely do things differently next time around. I was young, wide-eyed, and quite excited. Thanks for the feedback!
Amanda Kean Regardless, you did great. I'm an advocate for entertaining while educating and engaging readers emotionally, but I've never consciously connected storytelling with neuroscience. Thanks for introducing that concept to me. Best of luck to you.
2011? Well, it's now 2018 and I was able to gather some valuable information from your lecture. With that said, I'm sorry you have to read such negative feedback, provide in such a disparaging manner. I'm sure you're well over it by now but I wanted to take a moment to thank you for being brave enough to get up in front of all those people and share. I would be very interested to hear you speak on this subject today, to see how much you've improved. Always reach for the stars!
Yeah, its is true. I am a writer and in some way we use it as a form of liberate our problem...in a fictional mode if many people can dream or imagine things, because to the brain does not matter if it is real or not. The impulsive destruction being for oneself or other with stay in only fantasies and not go beyond or go out the reality with that people can live peacefully. It is not only narrative its is also en movies or theater. It is not the same as video games...
Hi Amanda, I wonder if you can point me in the direction of more specific details on the question of which stories carry weight. I mean, bios can be exceptionally boring coming from self-centered individuals, for example. Isn't the point of a 'good' story the emotional and relational ties 'between' human beings. How characters differ in their reactions while nonetheless sharing traits with their enemies? And thus, the miracle of connection in an otherwise indifferent world? In short, isn't a good story good when we figure out right from wrong, distinguish good from bad, and discover what 'strength' means (virtue) in terms of conduct, action, belief..? Agreed, all of the above takes empathy to succeed. But, why do some stories fail to elicit empathy? Why do some elicit it? And, how do propagandist talks elicit empathy for our in-group and not for the out-group? Don't stories separate people as much as they bring them together? War and peace? Love and hate? If all stories affect the brain, this fact alone does not tell us that all stories lead to peace.
Hey New Zeland, writing on the fly here. Usually, stories that have archetypal elements are the ones we mostly engage with. For a deep dive in this, you can follow the thread of Jung's work on archetypes, M. Louisa Von Franz's work on Fairy Tales, or Joe Campbell's work on the The Hero's journey.
@@milespittman478 Thanks Miles. Yeah, I've bee a fan of the people you list for decades. My question was a bit more specific though. I guess I wasn't clear, even to myself..! I guess I have two queries: 1) re: archetypes...hero's journey. I suspect these could be abused, e.g. Hollywood Propaganda 2) there are cultural differences (as some ethnic writers have pointed out) and, following on from #2, it may well be that the archetypes you talk of emerge creatively out of interactions with people holding vastly different outlooks. Thus, archetypes, per se, the ones we read about in Jung's books may or may not convey or fit the purposes of storytelling today, at least not in a creative way. Just look at how hard the Star Wars series is trying to replicate the success of the original movie.
story-telling is just a variation of things that engage people's, like she said, pathos. So story-telling isn't so spectacular on its own, as it is just like other art forms that engage people's creativity, emotions, etc... And saying it engages the "whole human brain" is just a.... blatant overstatement.
It's not like there was a lot of time, and the "big words" aren't unnecessary, they're more precise than shorter ones. Whining about "big words" is just a really obnoxious critical way of saying you felt like the content was hard to understand, which is valid, but don't pretend it's everyone's job to use imprecise terms just because you don't want to google a couple new words once in a while
That'd be great if You would be able to get a great position in government, We need good people that are also intelligent, and it would be even better if You were able to make peace in Sieraleone, and also between the Muslim world and israel despite what israel is doing. Good Luck.
story is more interesting when you know what you are talking about instead of reading from a paper, that is very bad, after 1 min i lost the interesting in this topic, and while im writing this, you are still reading the piece of paper!
Well, I would find more interesting if she didn't read that much, but I don't blame her, because I myself wouldn't do a better job speaking to a large audience...
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and peace and blessings be upon His faithful Messenger, our Master Muhammad, and upon his family and companions. It is not permissible to publish pictures or clips that contain forbidden things and religious violations, such as music, pictures of women who do not adhere to the Islamic hijab, and other religious violations. Publishing them is spreading corruption. Allah the Almighty said: (And Allah does not like corruption) and cooperating in sin and aggression. Allah the Almighty said: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression) What many people do not realize is that giving a like or leaving an unhelpful comment on a picture or clip is helping in its spread, so you take on the sin of everyone who viewed the clip. In other words, if you gave one like and after years the views of this picture or video reached 4 million, then here, my brother, you are carrying the sin of 4 million people. Are you ready to bear all of them before Allah!!!! We have to be careful, may Allah bless you
Why do we all want great wisdom and smartness? Why? Why do we all want to be Einstein? He was wrong, in both ways, deception has become an addiction to most congregations , Satan get behind me and all who seek our savior , for we want God and our big family in the kingdom of God. Those who know the truth, will smile at this message, those who don't believe will look angry at this message. Woh... :-)

I was gonna say the exact same words!
Tell me a fact and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.” -Native American Proverb
Does anyone know where there are classes on this approach? There is one at UCLA that's extremely expensive.
Ironic, She dosent seem to get the Irony of her talk

Increíble información de gran utilidad gracias !
How many times every minute does she say story? 10?

She used too many unnecessary big words and didn't give examples to back up most of her points.

Stories can make u depressed
I'm experiencing it now
One of the most lame TedTalk, what an irony the topic was about storytelling. She just read out everything from the paper.
What's the point in just reading out
wow, this is the top comment on a TED talk? wtf.
That'd be great if You would be able to get a great position in government, We need good people that are also intelligent, and it would be even better if You were able to make peace in Sieraleone, and also between the Muslim world and israel despite what israel is doing. Good Luck.
One of the weirdest people I've ever seen
story is more interesting when you know what you are talking about instead of reading from a paper, that is very bad, after 1 min i lost the interesting in this topic, and while im writing this, you are still reading the piece of paper!
This that neuro boy that pyschy tho ..that Tedtalk. Let that soul speak you let the fingers talk, so sensitive ey
Simon Leon rude.
Well, I would find more interesting if she didn't read that much, but I don't blame her, because I myself wouldn't do a better job speaking to a large audience...
