Why our brains love stories
As human beings we are programmed for stories. It’s how we evolved to understand our place in the world before we had written language, how we passed on lessons for where to find food, or what threats were coming for us, or how to build relationships within our tribes and our families.
Join us on this exploratory journey of storytelling and its impact on our brains.

Music and human emotions
Have you ever noticed the effect music has on our mind and body? Think about this for example. We might go through a break up, have a fight with a close friend; we might even win a sports championship, or even wake up having an amazing day. In any of these instances, we all can think of at least one song that we can relate to at a given moment in time.
Music definitely has a way of moving us, and making us feel more in touch with our emotions.
