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

The Power of Reading

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.

Why Do I Love You Sir?

In “Why Do I Love You Sir,” Emily Dickinson explores love’s irrational nature. She compares love to natural phenomena like the wind and lightning, emphasizing that true affection does not require explanation. The poem suggests that love exists beyond reason, embraced through its innate, unspoken power and beauty.

Hope Is The Thing With Feathers

Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope Is The Thing With Feathers” likens hope to a bird that resides in the soul, continuously singing without words. It remains resilient through life’s storms, providing warmth and comfort without ever demanding anything in return, even in the most challenging circumstances.
