From the creator:
Stories are powerful technologies.
Stories are the coding that shape what we believe, what we choose, who we are – how we think, feel and act everyday.
They shape our understanding of the world and the way we act in it, so stories shape the world itself.
The stories we choose to live by everyday weave the cultural narratives which inform the design of the human systems we create and how we organise ourselves on our home planet.
Like our economies.
About
Stories for Life was born at the start of 2021, a playbook of sorts, an offering for anyone working with story who is seeking to use their gifts to help accelerate the redesign of our economic systems so that they nurture a more beautiful, life-sustaining world.
An Economy in service to life.
Currently online at Stories.life, it weaves the work, thinking and ideas of many humans, ancient and modern.
Stories for Life proposes two key story evolutions in our modern cultural narratives to help accelerate the redesign of our now destructive industrial economies.
The story of our relationship with nature and the story of how we measure success.
This Animation
This 3 minute journey seeks to reveal these two now destructive stories and invites us to play with evolving these stories in our own work and lives.
