Sinopsis

Reading Habit unveils the transformative power of daily reading as a science-backed tool for sharpening the mind, easing stress, and fostering lifelong intellectual growth. Blending neuroscience, psychology, and cultural analysis, the book positions reading not as a passive pastime but as an active mental workout that reshapes brain structure and emotional resilience. Through interdisciplinary research, it reveals how sustained reading habits strengthen neural connectivity, reduce cortisol levels by 68% within minutes, and slow cognitive decline—a compelling case for treating books as essential self-care tools in our screen-saturated world.

 
The book stands out by merging evolutionary context with modern data, showing how reading’s flow state immersion counters digital-age stressors like information overload. It contrasts the fragmented focus demanded by social media with reading’s unique ability to synchronize brain regions linked to empathy, critical thinking, and imagination. Practical strategies—like micro-reading sessions and genre rotation—help readers overcome time constraints while maintaining neuroplasticity. Unlike generic self-help guides, it acknowledges reading’s limits but argues convincingly for its role as a cognitive investment with compounding benefits, from enhanced problem-solving skills to greater cultural empathy.

 
Written in accessible prose free of jargon, Reading Habit progresses from historical roots to actionable techniques, offering a roadmap to rebuild attention spans and curiosity. Its value lies in synthesizing decades of research into a cohesive argument: that this ancient practice remains one of humanity’s most potent tools for psychological well-being in modern life.

  • The Democratic Marketplace - How a More Equal Economy Can Save Our Political Ideals - cover

    The Democratic Marketplace - How...

    Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience―including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals. 
     
     
     
    The Democratic Marketplace theorizes the foundational structures of a democratic economy, in which markets are not just tools for maximizing profit via exploitation and extraction. To this end, employees are empowered to participate in corporate governance. Economic disparities are curbed so that citizens can negotiate their inevitable differences on a truly equal footing. And while a democratic economy need not eschew growth, it does renounce today's growth-at-all-costs expectations, instead balancing growth with goals like ecological sustainability and the preservation of time outside of work. 
     
     
     
    These are not utopian dreams, Herzog contends. The proposals that follow from the theory of democratic economics are already being tested around the world. And the shift in social norms that they necessitate is already under way.

    Did you know that the Dutch were some of the first who came up with stocks? They were also known for their gigantic fleet, their ships, their colonies, and so much more. The 17th century was a golden age, a golden century for the Dutch, who discovered how to go to the new world in Asia, America, and other continents to transport spices, minerals, and other materials.The Dutch East India Company, officially the United East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost Indische Compagnie; VOC), was a megacorporation created in the early 17th century by a government-directed merger of many competing Dutch trade services.You might think that Amazon or Google is big, but the VOC is still thought to be the world's biggest corporation in documented history. It was established on March 20th, 1602, as a chartered business to trade with Mughal India in the early contemporary period, from which it imported 50% of fabrics and 80% of silks, mostly from the Bengal Subah area. In addition, when the Dutch federal government rewarded it a 21-year monopoly on the Dutch spice trade, the business traded with Indianized Southeast Asian nations.Find out more about this by going through this book.
