The Stories in Our Minds: @northwesternu Professor Dan McAdams developed the concept of narrative identity. A collection of his enterprising students, now @northwesternalumni , pushed it in unexpected directions. (Link in bio) “We’re all walking around with these stories in our heads and they are more than just simple anecdotes that are fun to talk about. When people start telling stories about their lives to a willing listener or an interested audience, they feel they’re being authentic, that they’re being heard, and that this is who they really are.” - Dan McAdams, the Henry Wade Rogers Professor of Psychology
