“Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” Rumi
Why is reading important? According to many studies, regular reading has been shown to increase one’s well-being and expand one’s vocabulary. In older individuals, it has been demonstrated to lessen the brain’s rate of decline and improve one’s emotional IQ by enhancing empathy.
Reading has been my favorite hobby since I was a curious toddler trying to understand words. My mother encouraged our reading habits as I grew up, which I benefitted greatly my whole life.
Touring as a performing artist gave me much free time to explore books from many different countries, giving me a more global perspective of my world. I have a deeper understanding of cultures and much more empathy for individuals. One of the aspects I embrace most about Substack Reads is the access to various writers and their subjects. Here are a few of some of those remarkable Reads I've discovered.
