But not limited to interviewing. Most human interactions rely on some form of storytelling. He who controls the story often control the outcome.&lt;p&gt;Storytelling is how we understand the world.&lt;p&gt;Is this overused? Sure. Do many articles start with the same couple of sentences, so much so as to become ridiculous? Sure. Is the New Yorker one of the greatest offenders? Sure.&lt;p&gt;But we can&amp;#x27;t do without story. It&amp;#x27;s not just that stories are interesting; it&amp;#x27;s that, if there&amp;#x27;s no story, we often cannot understand what is being said.</text></comment>
