Summary of Jonathan Gottschall's The Storytelling Animal

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Pay attention when you read a book. The power of story is so embedded in our lives that we are completely desensitized to its weird and witchy power. To experience its fascination, you must concentrate and resist the suction of alternate worlds. But you can do this! It’s not too late to save yourself. Well, it’s never too late to try, anyway. It’s never too late to learn to read. -> The power of story is so embedded in our lives that we are completely desensitized to its weird and witchy power.

#2 When you read a book, your mind is working hard to create images that surpass the author’s descriptions.

#3 Reading and story are two of the most powerful tools you can use to immerse yourself in a new language.

#4 We spend more time watching television than we do reading books, and we spend a lot of time reading online.
