About This Quote
A good story invites us into someone else's world where we learn, discover commonalities, and leave with compassion and understanding. The power of storytelling is that it can take us away to another time and place. This is the reason why we read novels, watch movies, and listen to stories. We get to see how someone else’s life works.
It turns out that this has some benefits. A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that when people spend time immersed in fictional worlds they tend to act more morally than when they are not. Even more interesting, the researchers found that this change in behavior occurred automatically without any prompting from the storyteller or audience member.
