In the words of Maria Popova:
“We live in a world awash with information, but we seem to face a growing scarcity of wisdom. And what’s worse, we confuse the two. We believe that having access to more information produces more knowledge, which results in more wisdom. But, if anything, the opposite is true…”
While she warns us about the Age of Information, she gives us hope through the Power of Storytelling.
Storytelling transforms information into wisdom by giving it meaning.
