The Stories We Live: Personal Myths and the Making of Self. By: Dan P. McAdams

Summary:

This story was writen by a personality psychologist in which collects data on persons and generates meaningful scientific theories about the significance of human life. As a psychologist he helps people throughout their lifes and accomplish something they wanted to in their young adulthood in which he helps Margret make her life meaningful towards herself. In his case he decided to write this story in order to tell people how we live our lifes by our past and start becoming a better person to have a better future. The things that happened in the past may affect your future but by looking back you might want to becoming a better person then before. How we lived affects us now on how we are going to live.

Connection:

I learned that if you have a bad past it could affect you in the future because we live our lifes according to our stories we have. In a film you are producing the character may not be found as perfect but one who has a life similar to them can play a good part. When you are filming you can concentrate on ones past and make it a better future.
