Writer and neuroscience enthusiast Kerry Benson offers good advice:

“When you need a break from the digital world, don’t underestimate the power of paper and ink. Consider turning off your electronic devices, getting a book, and curling up to turn the page.”

Human brains were not designed for reading, but have evolved to make sense of letters, words and sentences. Reading is considered neurobiologically demanding, which makes it a form of exercise. Exercise, as we know, keeps us sharper, agile and more resilient. Why should it be different for our grey matter? 🧠

“One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.” – Carl Sagan

Read a book! Just six to 10 minutes a day can reduce stress and improve mental fitness, and literacy proponents will tell you that it doesn’t matter what you read, as long as you are reading!

More than ever, our lives have revolved around a screen with the digital world allowing us to connect in ways that we never thought possible.

On the flip side, we are experiencing fatigue and burnout due to the crumbling boundaries between work and home life.

Paper books offer a panacea, a remedy, a means to literally (haha) switch off.

Paper. Where would we be without it? It's renewable because it made from sustainably farmed wood. It's recyclable and can be made into new things we use every day. And it's remarkable, woven into everyday life in so many ways.
