📖Are we missing out by reading alone?
Reading opens doors to new worlds and ideas, but when we journey through these pages alone, are we missing out on deeper understanding and joy? Sharing our thoughts with others can enhance our appreciation of books and make the experience even more fulfilling.
Studies have shown the benefits of sharing our reading experiences. Research indicates that people who discuss what they’ve read have a better grasp and retention of the material (Murphy et al., 2009). Additionally, reading and talking about literary fiction can improve our ability to understand others’ emotions and perspectives (Kidd & Castano, 2013).
Participating in reading groups also leads to increased social connectedness and a sense of community (The Reading Agency, 2015). Shared reading can reduce symptoms of depression and improve overall mental health (Billington et al., 2010).
