The psychology of your life story: Dark Knight insights

We’re all living out a story, but most people aren’t conscious of what their life story is. And yet it’s how we create meaning in our lives and influences everything we do. In this video we explore the psychology of your life story, and the different ways you can understand what story you’re living. We draw on insights from psychologists like Carl Jung, and from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy of films.
