- Stories hack into our brain to hypnotize and influence us. Have you ever wondered how they do it? Or how to harness their power?
In this entertaining and eye-opening talk, storytelling author Tomas Pueyo will change how you see stories forever. He takes us on a journey through the neuroscience of stories, why all the good ones follow the same hidden blueprint, and how we can use them as our secret weapon. Tomas Pueyo Brochard is the author of “The Star Wars Rings”, an Amazon Best Seller that analyzes the storytelling patterns that underpin great stories such as Star Wars, Beowulf, and Harry Potter.
He grew up in Europe, throughout France, Spain, and Italy, as part of a family of filmmakers. Tomas was fascinated with the Why behind everything, he studied two MSc in Engineering from ICAI Madrid and Ecole Centrale Paris. After a few years of management consulting, he moved to America in 2008 to pursue his MBA at Stanford University. He specialized in Behavioral Psychology, Design, Storytelling, and Scriptwriting in an effort to uncover how people think and why they think the way they do.
Since Stanford, he has applied his knowledge to design, fabricate, and market products for companies throughout Silicon Valley. He has created video games enjoyed by millions and viral applications used by tens of millions. He is now in charge of Growth at SigFig, where he strives to make investments acc This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

The guy used a ring structure himself! He started with the story about the old hunter and finished with the same. That’s some good storytelling right there.
Problem-Solution;)
I realize it's pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream new series online?
@Mitchell Baylor i use FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
@Mitchell Baylor try Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Mitchell Baylor i watch on flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
I’ve been studying storytelling for years. I’ve read John Yorke, Truby, Save the Cat, and many others, so I think I know a thing or two. But nothing I’ve ever read is as elegant as this.
He is they Mastermind of the worldwide lockdowns. What a great storyteller...👏👏
Such a great talk!?
Points:
- Neuroscience has shown that the brain can't tell the difference between living something and hearing a story about it
- The structure of all good stories is the same as the structure of problem-solving: you state the problem, you explore the problem and why you can't solve it, you receive a new insight to solve the problem, you explore that insight, and you finally solve the problem
- We've evolved to love stories because they teach us how other people solved problems
That's it in 3 sentences
I found the explanation of how stories have been a necessary part of our evolution fascinating. That storytelling is deeply ingrained in us. I also found fascinating that stories are empathy. It certainly resounded with my own experience of listening to a story - to be in the story, to empathize.
Overall, provided much food for thought. Thank you!
You must read Sapiens by Yuval Harari. He devotes a whole chapter to this idea!
I've searching for this for a while. the science behind story telling. he's explaining every bit you should know. It's a good speech by himself as well.
I've been watching dozens and dozens of Ted Talks about storytelling. This is the best of them so far.
Thank you Zander! I appreciate!
The History of my Life, with a Greater Cartoonist approach by a Very Realistic History Teller, Marvelooooous, Thanks from 🇨🇱
Perfect to learn how to tell good stories. This guy took the ring theory and expanded it to all storytelling. Impressive.
Loved to see the same hidden structure in all those famous movies and stories
Master storytelling, and you will spread it!" i feel like this wont be the last time i watched this So cool! Now I understand why storytelling is so powerful.
Interesting how anecdotes i.e. stories are never considered valid in proving a point, establishing the facts, or debating, yet what draws us in and convinces us the most are the anecdotes.
I'm currently talking to my class about this exact fact. Where do we find the balance...?
@@joriturpin4603 I suspect it is entirely too subjective to find a precise balance. So, perhaps it just comes down to the individual as to what is convincing, but in order to do the convincing yourself you need to find ways to please both types of people. Share anecdotes for the ones who are more convinced through experiential learning, and share facts or statistics to the best of your ability for those that prefer less abstract and more concrete evidence.
It's true! All movies are the same!
I love Matrix and I never realized it's symmetric.
Blessings! My mother needs to hear this As a storyteller, I have first-hand experience reading about the structure of stories and writing stories myself.
Great TED.
“We’ve learned to love stories because they teach us.” Love the quote.
Stories are a way to get into somebody else’s brain to see how they solved a problem”. Yes
Incredible Franc-Spanish knowledge about the importance of ancestors storytelling! Congrats !
Stories are the way to learn , this has totally changed my life
Thank you, Amol. I'm glad this is helpful to you!
That’s captivating I’ve never heard a good theory on how we’ve evolved to love stories
That's some crazy powerpoint skills
I don't think that was powerpoint. It's too good. Must be an animation or something.
First of all, wow. And why on earth doesn't it have more views. This is such beautiful and captivating content. I have been directed here from Tomas Peuyos medium blog.
It is wonderful to gain new knowledge and expand our thought processes
Brilliant! Absolutely true. ALL Bollywood movies have a mid point in the form of a cliff hanging intermission!
What you say about stories, as vehicles for passing on wisdom to youngsters, is also true. India has centuries old Panchtantra, with stories and stories within stories of birds, animals and people to pass on worldly wisdom. "In these five books the charm compresses
Of all such books the world possesses!"
I'm glad to hear! I didn't know about this structure in Indian content, and wasn't acquainted with Panchtantra. Thanks for sharing!
@@tomas_pueyo Great!
Check out The Panchtantra by Arthur Ryder translated from Sanskrit to English. He was an American prof who studied Sanskrit in pre war Berlin.
@@captvkm thank you!
Excellent presentation! Loved it and enjoyed it so much, thank you sir.
"Stories are 2-10x more memorable than facts alone, and that's why the most influential books in history are just series of stories yet they've spawned the biggest religions in the world."
That storytelling is deeply ingrained in us
Lots of TED Talks on storytelling but this one hits it off the park
+1!
Best TEDx on storytelling.
Traditionally, ring structures are reserved for things like big sagas, but I guess you can find them in standard stories.
I wanna be a storyteller! Can anyone help me?
The neuroscience is good, but evolution is just a theory people!
Light bulb! Thank you!
I loved the explanation of how stories have been a necessary part of our evolution
Do your homework!
Thanks so much for caring and sharing
I'd love to see him talk about the Heroine's Journey or one of the other's like The Seeker!
Fascinating. Super cool look into storytelling, why the brain can’t tell the difference between living something and hearing a story about it, and why we have evolved to love stories because this is the best way for us to remember the most important things we need to survive and thrive as human beings. A+
Loved the way you tell stories tomas !
This is excellent talk Tomas! That hidden blueprint is really incredible.
This needs to get viral
I think so too! In fact, there's an easy way. The TED organization just needs to pick it up and post it on their site. You should tell them to do so!
This guy Tomas is right even the Bible is like that, Old Testament shadow and new Testament reality
This my friend, is one of the best teds I have seen.
That ring structure is kind of crazy. I've never seen if before. But it fits. I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that it's the structure of problem-solving though. I wonder if there is research on that topic.
Amazing presentasion! Please, let me send you a big respect & thank!
Hahaha this guy is so into it. I wonder if he rehearsed a lot. In any case, pretty fun stuff.
nice storytelling 👍👍
Excellent! I often watch this show
That was awesome
Unbelievable!
Wow that video in the middle.
This is really amazing.well done Tomas.
Interesting....
Fascinating, congrats
If I think about this in light of what Facebook is, it is possibly a venue for everyone to tell a story
You have to check yourself. You make no scents
What are the odds that yours will be unique? I've looked this guy up and he's also written a book about storytelling, focused on Star Wars.
Amazing Talk! Since i noticed you are kind enough to answer the comments, can i ask you some reference/source for exercises or deeper explanation about practicing storytelling? That circle is a very good start but i feel i miss something that will get me going
For some reason TH-cam tells me there is an answer but doesn't let me see it! Could you send it again?
Read his book "The star wars rings: The hidden structure behind the star wars movie"
Muy útil e interesante. Gracias!!
This concept becomes dangerous when you use stories to influence public opinion instead of relying on facts to inform the public. Stories allow you to ignore the need to rely on reason and sell a point of view.
Just Great Video Tomas! I'm going to share your video.
Garry Person thank you!
Apparently he predicted 90% of what would happen in Star Wars 8.
Nice.
This was awesome! Thanks!
The best one I ever heard!
Excellent work buddy.
However, that is for me.
Provided much food for thought
Liked and Subscribed.
I find this mostly right.
Great presentation 🤞🏾
Good job dr.Keep it up.
Wow!!!Awesome
Hey can you tell me all those movies ?
Someone please ?
Great ! Very interesting
Awesome video.I really like it.
Wow..I'm really interesting.
Two thumbs up.
This stuff is Lit and Comp 101 at SUNY Binghamton 1965!!! I guess enough time has passed for it to seem new again. :(((
Perhaps this accounts in some measure for the phenomenal popularity of FB?
The ring structure is a bit too over the top
That makes no sense lol
Me snifaste el Bocho!!
Te regalo los redondos, pero dudo de la alerta de Coronavirus.
great talk :)
Thank you!
Stories are mirrors
It's better to watch and deconstruct the masters then to just start writing stories.
I had read about the mathematical patterns of music, but storytelling too? That means artificial intelligence can do it too. We're all doomed...
Robots are going to take over!!
@@ezragoldberg6465 Robots are never going to replace us all, especially not the artistic parts
@@devangsubramonian6941 It's clear that everything humans do, machines will be able to do. It's just a matter of time. After all, our thoughts come from our brains, and our brains can be replicated in silicon.
Kimba the lion!
Simba!
@@tomas_pueyo
Simba is just a copycat.
@@Imtotallydiggingthis I didn't know. What do you mean?
@@tomas_pueyo
Disney stole the whole idea behind the lion king. Google it to find out more.
TEDx = Why
That's right! Why. It's the most important question.
Wht u want to tell
Say Tony Robins
The information is good, but I find the delivery incredibly annoying. There's definitely a Toastmaster-trained artificiality in the exaggerated expressions, and for me it is distracting and detracts from the message.
Thanks for the feedback, @Zed
I'll gather you came from the article about How to Become the Best in the World at Something, and that's why you venture it's Toastmasters-trained.
Interestingly, Toastmasters doesn't train. It has manuals to review concepts, but there's no style to it.
In fact, I worked hard on the TED style.
This style not for everybody. I adapt the one I use to the audience. I don't speak like that within my company, for example. But this is for the broadest audience possible, and the emotional load and expressions substantially help for that.
Hope that gives context!
@@tomas_pueyo Thank you for the presentation. I'm not yet through it, but I can relate to it and I think I understand rather well why you did it the way you did it. Total coherence of form and content, a metapresentation of sorts. Neither did I find it exaggerated, but just right.
I recognized most of the movies, but not all of them. Would it be possible for you to put in a list of them, to fill in the gaps?
Donello it’s there! Look at minute 16:09
@@tomas_pueyo Brillante.
