Why Reading STILL Matters

From childhood adventures with Enid Blyton to the science of reading for pleasure. Why Reading Still Matters 📚 I’ve been reading for as long as I can remember—from magazines in doctors’ waiting rooms to Reader’s Digest, Mills & Boon romances, and Enid Blyton’s magical worlds. Growing up in the nineties, books were my friends, adventures, and escape routes. But why does reading still matter in a world of endless scrolling and instant information? In this episode, we explore the joy of reading for pleasure and the science behind its benefits. From improving critical thinking and empathy to supporting learning, creativity, relaxation, and cognitive health, books offer us much more than stories. Whether you’re a lifelong bookworm, a lapsed reader, or a parent hoping to raise a reader, join me in rediscovering the magic of books, the power of curiosity, and the joy of lifelong learning. Because books are more than pages. They are windows into other lives and nourishment for the mind. Let's read for pleasure, one page at a time. https://healthwealthbridge.com/how-to-raise-a-reader/ https://healthwealthbridge.com/why-reading-makes-you-smart/ Subscribe to the podcast Subscribe to the substack newsletter. https://dramrita.substack.com/p/why-should-you-read-books/
