Facts vs. Stories: Humans Are Storytelling Machines #innergame #storytelling #fortune500

One of the challenges is humans are like storytelling machines. Like we just do it so automatically that we don't realize it. So, you know, I'll do this exercise in groups where I'll like cross my arms and look down and I'll say, what do you notice about me? And people say, you're closed off and you're uninterested and you know, you're hardened. And then I'll say, oh, what, you know, which of those are facts and which are stories? And people sort of laugh and chuckle nervously because they realize almost everything that they said is stories. But it's just our minds interpret reality so quickly that we don't realize that we're telling ourselves stories.
