Narrative is a powerful and compelling medium for conveying information and conclusions, often more effectively and memorably than direct factual statements.

“you can tell people facts or you can tell them stories that leave them with the conclusions that are the same as the facts that you would have told them, right? And so what I decided to do with Obstacle Ego and Now Stillness was not write a book that tells people what the Stoics say, but give people books that illustrate what the Stoics said or believed through story.”
