Wellness & Reading

What is wellness?

Wellness is the pursuit of all aspects of health: mental, physical, emotional, social, and beyond.

Why is wellness important?

Pursuing healthier habits can reduce stress, increase overall quality of life, and can help reduce risk factors for some health conditions.

How can reading help wellness?

Reading can reduce physical stress, increase our understanding of ourselves and others,  and provide a healthy escape from our everyday lives.

What if you don't like reading?

Try listening to audiobooks while you do chores or workout. Try reading a different type of story, like poetry. Try a new genre outside of anything you’ve tried to read before. There is no one way to read, and there’s something for everyone.
