Synopsis

In How Stories Change Us, Elaine Reese integrates the latest scientific research on stories from fiction (books, TV shows and movies, videogames) with stories from real life (our personal experiences, including on social media) across the lifespan. The book offers an authoritative yet accessible overview of the new interdisciplinary science of stories, told by a developmental psychologist and autobiographical memory expert with over thirty years of experience conducting research on stories. Reese synthesizes cutting-edge research for an interdisciplinary audience, offers practical tips for parents, teachers, librarians, and policymakers, and she advocates for a more integrated science of stories to allow us to better choose the stories we consume and tell.
