They have no point. And there s no emotional power. We talk about stories that have emotional power. There s emotional power there. That s the way to get promoted.
Stories have real emotional punch.
And without that punch, they are less likely to be salient. If it is logical and it makes sense to you, if it s true to your own experiences, which is a very important category of things. Stories must be true to one s experience. If someone told me that they acted in one hundred percent altruistic way, just spent all the time helping others, if they were the CEO of a company, I would know that s not true. It would not be true to my experience as to how organizations in America work.
