 Story SharingNektarios Karanikas ()
Chapter Chapter 6 in Professional Generalism in a Hyper-specialised World, 2025, pp 67-75 from Springer Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines the fundamental nature of communication as story sharing, exploring how all forms of information exchange ultimately convey narratives about past, present, or future events. All communication, formal or informal, shares a story, reflecting a version of truth, not the absolute truth. The chapter analyses the inherent gaps between reality and perception, between what we perceive and what we store, and between what we store and what we recall, acknowledging the impossibility of perfectly reconstructing original truths because of the effects and unobservable nature of immaterial energy. A crucial distinction is drawn between knowledge and information, proposing that, while information comprises stored content from others’ accounts, true knowledge emerges only through direct experience. Recognising communication's story-based nature, imperfect truth transmission, and information/knowledge distinction can improve professional practice. Understanding this improves information sharing, acknowledges perspective limits, and highlights direct experience's importance for professionals.
