Everyone says reading is good for you. But good how? And good for what, exactly? In this video, I slow the question down and ask something we almost never ask out loud: what is reading actually for, anyway? Not in slogans or study tips, but in lived experience.

I talk through five things reading does better than almost anything else: training attention, borrowing other lives, making meaning, protecting solitude, and quietly shaping who we become over time.
If you have ever felt unsure whether reading is still worth the effort, this video is for you.
I would love to hear your answer to the question in the comments. What is reading for you?
