Modern science is busy bursting myths but is that the right approach? In this visual story, we will discuss why myths are not false stories and how understanding myths can reveal patterns in our narratives? We think we are scientific and evidence-based but when faced with an existential or moral crisis every culture turns to its own myths for meaning. For this, we will compare between Eastern and Western mythospheres (collection of myths, symbols and rituals). Knowledge of different cultures and their myths can reveal new patterns in our stories, widen our perspectives and improve our decision making, leadership skills and risk management.
