Humans are wired for stories. We’ve been telling them since the dawn of time—before books, before the internet, even before writing.

Here’s why storytelling captures our attention:

• Mirror neurons: We feel what characters feel — joy, pain, suspense.

• Memory: Stories are easier to remember than raw facts.

• Meaning: Stories help us make sense of the world and ourselves.

🧠 Science says: When we hear a story, multiple parts of our brain light up—not just the language center, but also sensory, emotional, and motor regions. That’s why stories “stick.”
