Did you know that reading can actually help reduce stress in just six minutes?

Reading is an opportunity to:

  • Be more aware and empathetic with yourself, your colleagues, patients and family by connecting with the story or the characters.
  • Choose your own adventure.
  • Reflect on how the story made you feel.
  • Have fun!

Many of our co-workers, family and friends have been participating in virtual book clubs to connect and reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Book clubs can help:

  • Create deeper connections with each other.
  • Spark creative ideas.
  • Build problem-solving skills.
  • Improve emotional intelligence.

Pick a book for your co-workers, family or friends, or let them choose one and schedule your first book club meeting virtually or in person. Here are more tips for a successful meeting.
