Stories have existed long before recorded history, and the telling of stories has changed forms drastically throughout the ages. From cave painting to novels to movies, stories have always fascinated mankind. It has been said that our brain was wired for storytelling. Technology, urbanization, and globalization have “altered” the opportunity and unique purpose of storytelling, and therefore we are no longer telling stories. When we were young, we sat at the fireside and my grandfather, father, and uncles would share different tales from the “old days” to traditional folktales. Each one of these tales, typically focused on some teaching from honesty, to the art of preservation, sacrifice, delayed gratification, and courage. Throughout history, civilizations have relied on stories/folktales to transfer ethics/values/morals and information from one generation to the next. With the advancement of technology, urbanization, and globalization the “use” of storytelling has been misplaced. As previously mentioned, the purpose of storytelling has never only been about the transfer of information or knowhow (we now have Google for that), storytelling has always primarily been about the transfer of the teachings about tradition, ethics, morals, and values relating to that particular family or group. In other words, storytelling is of utmost importance in the transfer of the human capital, in order to lay a foundation, strengthen with the right tradition, values, morals, ethics, and virtues, to build next-generation stronger than the previous one! The purpose of The Lost Art of Storytelling is to rekindle the art of storytelling by collating stories from around the world, each teaching about different traditions, values, virtues, and ethics. We are hope full that this resource will help lay the foundations of future generations to come.
