Description
This week on The Living Experiment, we’re talking about Reading — its potential for informing and enriching our lives, and its potential for becoming an escapist habit. In a world dominated by a non-stop stream of mass media and clickbait, is there still a place in our lives for real, deep, intentional reading? Is reading a paper book or long-form magazine article the same as reading on screen, or listening to books on tape? Has the ability to read, and ready deeply, become endangered in our culture? We address all these questions and more. We also share the role that reading — particularly book reading — plays in our lives, and the reasons we both read as much as we do. Finally, we offer some guidance on making more discerning reading selections. And we suggest some experiments to help you reflect on how reading can enhance your wellbeing, your thinking, and your quality of life. We also happily announce our sponsorship by Experience Life magazine, and the special, discounted subscription offer and free e-newsletters now available to The Living Experiment listeners.
