Stories and narratives we tell ourselves and share with others define our lives. Worldwide, we have been doing this and recording it for tens of thousands of years. Today, we do this in literature and poetry, memoir and essay, journalism, film, and the songs that carry over the airwaves. Businesses, organizations, and public officials tell their stories in ever-evolving forms of communication, advertising, and public relations.
