A NYTimes.com Editor's Choice A Los Angeles Times Book Prizes Finalist "A jaunty, insightful new book . . . that] draws from disparate corners of history and science to celebrate our compulsion to storify everything around us."--New York Times Humans live in landscapes of make-believe. We spin fantasies. We devour novels, films, and plays. Even sporting events and criminal trials unfold as narratives. Yet the world of story has long remained an undiscovered and unmapped country. Now Jonathan Gottschall offers the first unified theory of storytelling. He argues that stories help us navigate life's complex social problems--just as flight simulators prepare pilots for difficult situations. Storytelling has evolved, like other behaviors, to ensure our survival. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology, Gottschall tells us what it means to be a storytelling animal and explains how stories can change the world for the better. We know we are master shapers of story. The Storytelling Animal finally reveals how stories shape us. "This is a quite wonderful book. It grips the reader with both stories and stories about the telling of stories, then pulls it all together to explain why storytelling is a fundamental human instinct."
--Edward O. Wilson "Charms with anecdotes and examples . . . we have not left nor should we ever leave Neverland."--Cleveland Plain Dealer

Comfortable, but shows sweat very easily.
Size: Medium, Color: Beryl Green
Very comfortable, but unfortunately you sweat right through it. Stains are visible almost immediately.

The best golf shirt on Amazon.
Easily my favorite golf shirt to wear during practice or on the course. It's simple - no large logos, lightweight, comfortable, and has a great price point. Fitment is true to size. Get this for yourself or as a gift and you wont be disappointed!

High quality polo
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Dark Grey
Can’t beat this price and quality. With mainstream polos is going for about $80. This is a steal for the same quality. Fits good. Price is nice. Keeps me dry the golf course.
