Have you ever experienced the "story trance"? 📖😵💫
It's exactly what it sounds like. One of those situations where you get lost in the story. This can happen in different situations, like when you're so engrossed in an eBook, that you almost miss your stop during your commute. But it has an even greater effect when a decent narrator tells the story. 🗣️
Consider going to see a talk by your favourite writer. For an hour, the audience is as one, moving their heads in unison, gasping, laughing, and holding their breath as the story unfolds. We feel the emotions of the storyteller, it almost feels like they are transferring their experience directly to your brain.
It's all very well being invested in amazing TED talks, enjoying a superb eBook or jogging with the latest podcasts. They are all great things, and you should enjoy them. But with these advances in technology, we may also be losing the opportunities to take time to sit together, talk and share stories from person to person. And that's a critical tradition to keep alive.
