Reading and Wellness: The Life-Giving Practice of Reading and How it Supports Well-Being

A theme that comes up in my work often is that of paying attention to what is life-giving. When something is life-giving, it has the power to refresh us, to energize us, to relax us, to inspire us, to grow us, to nurture us.
