Book Summary
Step into the mystical world of mythology with The Stories We Tell: Mythology to Make Sense of Modern Lives, a hardback collection by Devdutt Pattanaik. This volume gathers seventy-two tales from India's vast treasury of myths and legends, thoughtfully reframed for twenty-first-century readers. Whether you’re a mythology enthusiast, a curious learner of culture, or simply seeking stories that illuminate everyday life, The Stories We Tell invites you to explore how ancient wisdom speaks to modern questions with warmth, insight, and wonder.
Written in Pattanaik's signature accessible voice, The Stories We Tell weaves myth and modern life into a cohesive journey. The book is organized around focused themes—Apsara, Karma, Justice, Unconditional Love, and Devas and Asuras—each turning ancient scenes into mirrors for today’s questions. The experience feels comforting and uplifting: stories that entertain, invite reflection, and unfold at a thoughtful pace, guiding readers from curiosity to insight. The retellings illuminate key ideas—gender, fairness, love, and moral ambiguity—without jargon, helping readers connect timeless wisdom to their own lives.
After finishing The Stories We Tell, readers gain a richer sense of how myth informs modern life, with questions to ponder and ideas to carry forward. It leaves you feeling curious, thoughtful, and more confident in navigating everyday choices, knowing you’re part of a long tradition that still speaks to today’s world.
