A slim volume about the power of narratives. Gottschall presents empirical evidence about the stories that we tell ourselves, although thereā€™s not anything new here. Unfortunately, Gottschall is better at telling stories about the results than describing the experiments in sufficient detail, although he is an English professor and this is a popular science book, so I canā€™t begrudge him too much.
