The stories we immerse ourselves in do more than entertain—they build our emotional resilience, self-awareness, and mental flexibility. This is called "book capital"—the skills, insights, and coping strategies we gain from reading.When we read we build:
✨ Emotional Healing – Bibliotherapy helps us connect with our emotions and process them, helping us gain relief from and navigate anxiety, trauma, and grief.
✨ Increased Empathy – Stories let us step into others’ shoes, strengthening emotional intelligence, empathy for others as well as self-empathy.
✨ Mental Flexibility – Reading helps us see different perspectives, allowing us to reframe and reduce stress and anxiety.
✨ Connection – Books remind us we’re never truly alone in our struggles - we feel connected to both the characters we come across but also ourselves.
✨ Stress Reduction – A University of Sussex study found that reading can reduce stress by up to 68%—making it more effective than music or even a walk!
