The Benefits of Social Reading

Social reading, or the act of reading with others, is at the heart of the Fable experience.Therapist Ella Berthoud is a pioneer in the discipline of bibliotherapy, or the theraputic use of literature to make your life better. She once wrote that the act of reading can put your mind in the same brain state as meditation. Just like a good yoga class can accentuate the power of mindfulness, reading together with other people can amplify the benefits of reading. “You could say that reading effectively is mindfulness personified,” Berthoud writes in her book, "The Art of Mindful Reading," encouraging us to add some form of social reading to our lives."The benefits of reading with others are unexpected and addictive.” gr seperator3
