Simmons' comment on intelligence in regard to storytelling & story retention really drove home for me the importance of storytelling. While there may be no statistical data on this topic I certainly agree with her. I'm sure that we all can agree that knowing and sharing stories makes an individual more interesting and engaging; more well-rounded.
I also liked that Simmons switched it up in this chapter and focused on listening. If you think about it it is just as important as storytelling. If you tell a story and no one's there to hear it, does a tree fall on a mime in the woods somewhere? Anyway, I think you get my point. The chapter was a nice change of pace.

listening is indeed important.....to build the foundation for understanding you have to listen first. Second: you may take the story you have heard and make it your own by either just copying it or altering it the way you want it!!!
Maybe the reason we have so many goofball statistical studies is that numbers are hard to refute.
If 1 million people watch a show, the show is being watched, period.
But what quantitative research fails to consider is how the show is being watched, by whom and under what circumstances.
It goes back to a lot of stuff in the 601-602 block last year, but worth bringing up again.
This chapter was certainly a nice change. Did this chapter seem short to anyone else?
After a quick scan of the table of contents, I noticed that it was indeed the shortest chapter of the book.
Hmmm. Ironic, isn't it? She talks about the fact that most people don't spend enough time listening, and then....
