J. Edward Chamberlin draws together anecdotes and insights from a celebrated career in this timely exploration of the power of stories and songs—from both the distant past and today’s news, countering despair and disillusionment with hope and possibility. Stories are our first and last survival strategy; for millions of years, more or less, they told humanity what we know, and what we don’t know; what to wonder about, and what to watch out for. These days many of us feel that we need all the help we can get, for survival sometimes seems like a long shot. The great myths of the world bring us comfort by assuring us that however bad things are, they have all happened before and will one day pass; and however good, they will not last forever. Storytelling, whether of religion, the arts or even science, can be an important form of resistance, offering an alternative to the overpowering pressures of everyday enabling our imaginations. This may offer an escape from reality, which has an appeal to all of us some of the time. But they can be a hazard. The environment is destroyed because of storylines about growth and development. Cultures embrace hallucinations of civilized progress as we slip into a dangerously uncivil social and economic free-for-all. And some claim homes for themselves and drive out others on the basis of self-serving histories about modern constitutions. More than that, we are disconnected from each other by our commitment to the stories and songs that promote these illusions, and make us numb to the value of difference and defiance. But it is also within storytelling that we can find a way to bring sympathy and judgement back into the centre of our conversations about what we can––and what we must––do. Stories and songs, ours and those of others, can help us. They can save us.

"Storyline will help you answer one important question: When the credits roll at the end of your life, how will you have wanted to live? To accomplish this, we've blended the discipline of storytelling with the therapeutic philosophy of acclaimed psychologist Viktor Frankl. Over the last several years, we've distilled this process into eight modules that will help you: Understand where you fit within God's story; Interact with God in a functional, rather than, dysfunctional way; Understand you share agency with God to make an impact; Clarify your ambitions; Get off the couch and get started; Embrace, rather than, avoid conflict; Envision climatic scenes that will prove more motivating than setting goals; Filter your decisions through a life theme; Inspire others by living a great story" [Publisher description].
This remarkable and monumental book at last provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old riddle of whether there are only a small number of 'basic stories' in the world. Using a wealth of examples, from ancient myths and folk tales via the plays and novels of great literature to the popular movies and TV soap operas of today, it shows that there are seven archetypal themes which recur throughout every kind of storytelling. But this is only the prelude to an investigation into how and why we are 'programmed' to imagine stories in these ways, and how they relate to the inmost patterns of human psychology. Drawing on a vast array of examples, from Proust to detective stories, from the Marquis de Sade to E.T., Christopher Booker then leads us through the extraordinary changes in the nature of storytelling over the past 200 years, and why so many stories have 'lost the plot' by losing touch with their underlying archetypal purpose. Booker analyses why evolution has given us the need to tell stories and illustrates how storytelling has provided a uniquely revealing mirror to mankind's psychological development over the past 5000 years. This seminal book opens up in an entirely new way our understanding of the real purpose storytelling plays in our lives, and will be a talking point for years to come.

What do we mean when we refer to our “identity,” and how do we represent it in the stories we tell about our lives? Is “identity” a sustained private core, or does it change as circumstances and relationships shift? In this thoughtful and learned book, a recognized master of research interviewing explores these questions through analyses of in-depth interviews with five craftartists, who reflect on their lives and their efforts to sustain their form of work as committed artists in a world of mass production and standardization. The artists describe their families of origin and the families they have created, and the conscious decisions, chance events, and life experiences that entered into the ways they achieved their adult artistic identities. Exploring these continuities, discontinuities, and unresolvable tensions in an analysis that brings new sophistication to a much-used term, Elliot Mishler suggests that “identity” is always dialogic and relational, a complex of partial subidentities rather than a unitary monad. More a verb than a noun, it reflects an individual’s modes of adaptation, appropriation, and resistance to sociocultural plots and roles. With its critical review of narrative research methods, model of analysis for the systematic study of life stories and identity, and vision of how narrative studies may contribute to theory and research in the social sciences, Storylines is an eloquent and important book for narrative psychology and lifespan development.
