The Narrative Paradigm: An Elaboration

The Narrative Paradigm suggests that humans naturally think, communicate, and make decisions through storytelling rather than just logical reasoning or facts. We interpret the world and our experiences by sharing and listening to stories that resonate with our values and emotions. This approach views storytelling as a fundamental way people understand truth and persuade others. Essentially, effective communication is about crafting compelling stories that align with shared beliefs, making messages more memorable and influential than just presenting data or arguments.
