We are all time-starved. Attending school, landing a job, building a career, nurturing relationships, raising kids, caring for aging parents – we are busy at every stage of life. Our mental wellness is the price we pay to juggle the demands of modern life.

Recently I read that depression and anxiety have increased 15-20% globally over the last decade. The World Economic Forum projects a $16.3 trillion loss in economic output between 2011 and 2030 due to mental disorders. The mandate for mental wellness has never been more important.

I grew up in a small town in India where books were my refuge from boredom and stress.
There is now growing evidence to support what I intuitively understood – reading is a powerful tool to improve mental wellness.

I started Fable so that all of us can fill the micro-moments in our hectic lives with stories. Our mission is to deliver the world’s best social experience with exceptional stories in service of mental wellness.

Fable has stories for everyone. My hope is that you will take a daily break to read, because you are worth it!
