The way we tell our own story, our narrative identity, influences our mental health and well-being, almost as much as the story itself.

In this episode, Jonathan Adler, a scholar, professor, playwright and expert on storytelling, lifts the curtain on how our experiences and the resulting stories we tell offer purpose and inspire unity in our lives. Tune in to discover why crafting and sharing meaningful narratives can support individual growth, and when embraced by organizations, can strengthen teams and uplift well-being company wide.

Guest: Jonathan Adler, Professor of Psychology, Olin College of Engineering
