Did you know that reading is a proven de-stresser? Of course, you did!

And because a solid half hour reading a book (or eBook!) lowers stress, like Slow Food before it, reading now has its own Slow movement. Learn about Slow Reading here, an article from the Wall Street Journal loaded with fun findings on the impact of reading on health, and great facts that you can share with your readers.
