Stories We Live By
I decided not to provide a review of this book here, but to let the other Goodreads reviews do that. Instead I focussed on the part I found most useful and which I thought would be of most interest to readers of my blog ( My Call of Stories):Â namely his chapter Exploring Your Own Myth. In that chapter, Chapter 10 of his book, he provides an outline to explore your own myth, or myths:
A. Life Chapters…at least 2-3 and at most 7-8
B. Key Events (nuclear episodes)…..Specific list of 8
C. Significant People…at least 4, not related to at least 1
D. Future Script
E. Stresses and Problems…at least 2
F. Personal Ideology….beliefs and values
G. Life Theme
For each of these items he provides the detailed text of the questions he and his students used in their interview process of people selected to tell their life stories. He further suggests not only using these questions to help you identify your personal myths; he goes on the suggest you put them in the hands of a friend who interviews you. It is in this telling to another person that you really come to understand your personal myths. Check them out.
