Fable opens by sharing a quote from neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga that’s included in Lisa Cron’s Wired for Story. That quote is:

 “The brain never does anything it doesn’t have to do. The fact that there seems to be a reward system that allows us to enjoy good fiction implies that there’s a benefit to the fictional experience.”

The Verbivore referenced two Ted Talks in this conversation. Here they are:
