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. 

Silent Book Club

Silent Book Club is a global community of readers and introverts, with more than 1000 chapters in 50 countries around the world led by local volunteers. Silent Book Club (SBC) is a global movement for anyone who finds joy in reading — without the pressure of assigned books or formal discussion. At Emerald Book Club, our Coventry chapter meets monthly in a peaceful park setting. There’s no homework, no icebreakers, no need to speak if you don’t want to. You just bring your own book, find a cosy spot, and enjoy reading quietly with others.
