Reading a book is one of life’s biggest joys, but it can also give us insights into coping with difficult times in our life. It’s called #bibliotherapy. My recent purchase of @alaindebotton_traveller ’s book How Proust Can Change Your Life talks about just that. How we identify with characters and situations in novels because they remind us of ourselves or others and how the way these characters cope and manage situations can have an influencing effect on our behaviour. As you can see, not all my purchases were that high-brow! The #JoNesbø book has been a joy to read with my daughter though. What kid doesn’t love talk about farts? Go and lose yourself in a book and let me know if you recommend it. I’m always looking for recommendations. . . . #loseyourselfinabook #lifeskillsfromfiction #bookworm #alaindebotton #jonesbø #beinginthemoment #amomentalone #fanoffiction #fiction #meditation #lostinabook #readingforpleasure #bibliotherapy
