Ch 7 - When Stories Pull Us Closer

from Mapping New Common Ground Hosted by The Story Forces Project

In this episode, Jed introduces the Alignment Bonding Mindset, a way of thinking about what goes on under the hood to pull people together when stories they hold align. He explores how the common ground provided by these stories we hold in common is central to belonging, helps us know we are not lost in the world, and gives reassurance that we know how to make the world a better place. These positive feelings around aligned stories power a bonding force that draws us closer and makes us feel more connected. Jed then raises a fascinating possibility - that how our body manages energy might play a role in how our relationships play out. Finally, he looks at how relationships can have problems when two few stories align and how co-creating more stories together can improve them. This is a public episode.
