Скачать или смотреть Think like a storyteller | Jared Rypkema | TEDxFSCJ

Stories shape the very way we experience the world, the kind of people we strive to be, and our capacity to connect and be connected with one another. Storyteller Jared Rypkema asks each of us to attend to story’s elemental power to reshape and renew our everyday lives. By exploring multiple narrative responses to a single human tragedy, Rypkema shows us how, even in our grief, we can still learn to respond thoughtfully, understand empathetically, and connect deeply—and so become better at being human.
