Reading and Happiness

Reading is strongly linked to happiness through stress reduction, improved empathy, intellectual stimulation, and a greater sense of life satisfaction. It can provide an escape from daily worries, help you understand different perspectives, and inspire positive changes, with some studies showing just six minutes of reading can significantly lower stress levels. Regular reading is associated with higher overall happiness, life satisfaction, and mental well-being

Carpe Diem

Carpe diem is a Latin Phrase meaning “Seize the Day” and encourages living in the present rather than focusing on the future. The phrase originates from a poem by the Roman poet Horace in his Odes, which was originally part of the full injunction carpe diem quam minimum credula postero,” or “seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the next one”. Today, the expression is widely used to promote enjoying life and making the most of every opportunity.
