Rebuild focus, reduce stress, and reset — one book at a time

Personal Resilience

Home >> Our Programs >> Personal Resilience

Reading isn’t just a hobby — it’s a proven tool for mental resilience. Research shows that regular reading can have a powerful impact on how we cope, grow, and recover:

  • Reduces stress by up to 68% — more effective than music or walking

  • Improves focus and emotional regulation, key traits for bouncing back from adversity

  • Boosts resilience by exposing readers to new perspectives, challenges, and solutions

  • Improves sleep and lowers anxiety, especially when done before bed

  • Helps reduce symptoms of depression, offering comfort, connection, and practical guidance


Sometimes, the right book at the right time can be the first step back to yourself.
