We live in an era where attention has become the rarest currency. A 15 second TikTok, an attractive Instagram reel, or a YouTube small and all compete to grab our brain, only to leave us with nothing but a fleeting laugh or a temporary distraction. Social media has mastered the art of stealing a few minutes from our lives, quietly disappearing by sewing them in hours.
In this storm of information and fast book entertainment, the habit of reading books seems to be almost old. People ask, “When you can see the summary in 30 seconds, who has the time to read?” But here is the truth books are not just about information; They are about change.
A book does not scream for your attention. It waits quietly. It does not scroll itself; You have to turn on the page. And in that deliberate work, you give yourself gifts in patience, meditation and depth. Unlike shorts and reels that feed you surface-level dopamine, books invite you to a world where imagination breathes, increases sympathy, and has a deep understanding.
When I open a book, I am not chasing quick materials; I am creating a relationship – with ideas, with characters, and with my own within. Each page slows me into a world that is running very fast. Each chapter teaches me to think, reflect and feel.
