Description
Stories run the software of your mind, shaping every choice you make, every tribe you join, and every brand you trust. In this eye-opening conversation, award-winning journalist and bestselling author Will Storr sits down with Tim Green to expose the hidden scripts that steer our lives without permission. In the episode:
How a near-execution in South Sudan revealed the raw power of narrative under threat
Why our brains crave connection and status more than truth—and how marketers, politicians, and cults exploit that itch
The psychology of “identity hijack”: when attacking a belief feels like attacking you
Why modern journalism swapped balanced reporting for outrage-bait—and what that means for democracy
Practical tactics to spot (and rewrite) the stories controlling your decisions
Whether you’re a creator, leader, parent, or just story-curious, this episode will change the way you see news feeds, brands, and even your own inner monologue.
