  • Dear Listener,

    This week, we’re diving into the type of books that don’t just tell a great story or share a great idea, but truly change lives.

    What makes a book life-changing? It’s one that lingers in your thoughts, shifts your perspective, or nudges you to take action. And what better gift to give someone than a book that has the potential to inspire, empower, or transform their life? Whether you’re shopping for a loved one, a colleague, or even yourself, I’ve got you covered with some incredible recommendations.

    I hope you enjoy the listen and do let me know your favourite, life-changing books!

  • Dear Listener,

    In the last voicenote we touched upon bibliotherapy, what it is, a brief history and how we define it at Book Therapy. In today’s voicenote, I wanted to talk about how we can use bibliotherapy in treating every day mental health issues, as well as touch upon who practices it, why it works, and the impact of solo reading vs group reading.

    I hope you enjoy it!

    Warmly,
    Bijal
    Bibliotherapist & Co-founder, Book Therapy
