#1 A story is a set of events that are connected by a cause and effect relationship. It’s a simple concept right. But remember this idea of pattern seeking. Humans love to find order in things. We need to fit things into categories and organize them by what they have in common. Anything unrelated to the category is not worth our time. Stories give us meaning. And no, that doesn’t mean we need to believe in god or the tooth fairy or astrology or anything like that. It just means we have some type of pattern recognition ability that allows us to see relationships between things. It’s why you can see a plot or a story line when you look at an event unfold – it’s pattern recognition at work, and we love it. But stories can be good or bad for us. They are like a drug. They can be good for us, but they can also be destructive if not used correctly. Let me explain -> We are hardwired to seek out stories. Perception of the world around us is composed of stories. Stories give us meaning and help us make sense of our lives.

#2 Stories are like little puzzle pieces that describe discrete aspects of the world. We go around collecting them to build an ever expanding model to help us predict all the myriad ways we could get fucked over.

#3 We are hardwired to seek out stories. They are like a drug – they can be good for us, but they can also be destructive if not used correctly.

#4 We are hardwired to seek out stories. They are like a drug, but they can be good or bad for us. They are like a foundation for our internal model of emotions.

Didn't realize this was satire. There are so many repeats, it's didn't realize this was satire. Was only interested because I don't know where his books went on Amazon.
