The power of myths:
How Stories Shape What We Believe
Next WIP meeting
How Stories Shape What We Believe
Does a myth report something that actually happened? That question totally misses the point. A myth is instruction, not a news report. A myth tells people in a particular culture something that is a generally accepted belief in that culture.
In this time of global crisis and transition – mass migration, inequality, climate change – Alex Evans believes it is only by finding new myths that we will navigate our way to a better future. It is stories, rather than facts and pie-charts, that have the power to animate us and bring us together to change the world.
Watch Alex Evans, Senior Fellow, New York University's Center on International Cooperation, in our latest RSA Spotlight - the edits which take you straight to the heart of the event! Loved this snippet? Listen to the full podcast here:
