Yes, the very concept of truth is under threat right now. It's essentially based on faith. Faith is transmitted through storytelling. Let's go!

Stories are such a powerful, and ancient, medium — and capable of getting people to think in ways that other tools and techniques can't.

Of course. You just have to listen carefully to your Daemon. Then the story will come:)

I've never heard of that book — just added it to my Amazon cart, though! Thank you for recommending it.

I think stories have a way of revealing things to us about ourselves that we often can't or refuse to see otherwise — both the good and the bad. They help ground us and inspire self-reflection, and I think they're one of the best tools we have to change hearts and minds ... in what can often be a pretty heartless world.

Your comment reminded me of another story I wrote about Viktor Frankl, perhaps you'll enjoy this one as well:
