Ongoing Research

It is important to differentiate the benefits of ‘adherence to reading’ from merely attending the program. The biggest takeaway is a sense of empowerment - participants walk away with a specific solution to the problem they have on hand, by view of tailored book recommendations.

For students: Initiation into the reading habit at the right age, cognitive development, lifelong advantage.

For employees: A window to the decagonal benefits of reading. The session is a much needed reminder about the neuroplasticity of our brain and what skills might we be at danger of losing out on, should we give up on the reading habit.

Reading is intimately connected to mental health. Reading is hard till it's easy and sustained practice alleviates anxiety in the following ways, which we will give the acronym (REST)

1. Restfulness: Reading is inherently restful, with studies suggesting that it reduces stress by 69%.
2. Engagement: Lowering attention spans have made us jump to conclusions and choose sides out of convenience rather than knowledge and then suffer for it! Immersing yourself in a good book allows you to develop tolerance for ambiguity and stay in it, till the right option emerges.
3. Sleep benefits:  Screens interfere with melatonin production and sleep quality, adding to anxiety. Sleep is nature's most potent cure.
4. Terminates Cognitive decline:  Reading requires focus, which builds new wiring in the brain. These neurological changes arrest cognitive decline, reducing the burden of dependence in old age.
