“Our experience of the world is shaped by our interpretations of it, the stories we tell ourselves,” Popova writes, “and these stories can often become so distorted and destructive that they completely hinder our ability to live balanced, purposeful, happy lives, so the key to personal transformation is story transformation.”

It is not through experience alone that we become who we are, but through the creative act of storytelling that we glean a sense of meaning, identity, and power.
