Why can’t we read anymore?. Content Warning.
Last year, I read four books. The reasons for that low number are, I guess, the same as your reasons for reading fewer books than you think you should have read last year: I’ve been finding it harder and harder to concentrate on words, sentences, paragraphs. Let alone chapters.

3 Inspiring Books to Uncover Your Life's Purpose"
In 2018, I made the decision to resign from my position in the publishing industry. Despite thriving and advancing up the editorial ladder, I chose to end my career prematurely. This pivotal moment left me feeling adrift, with uncertainty clouding my future path. Seeking guidance, I delved into self-help literature in search of a new purpose, grappling with doubts and regrets surrounding my choices. It felt like my life had come to a standstill, akin to career suicide. As adults, it's common to lose sight of our life's purpose, often at different stages of our lives. A study carried out by the Harvard Graduate School of Education in December 2022 revealed that a significant number of young adults aged 18 to 25, approximately 58%, experienced feelings of emptiness or lack of purpose. Half of the participants also expressed a sense of directionless in their lives, citing factors such as financial pressures, societal expectations, global uncertainty, and the impact of social media.If you find yourself resonating with these sentiments, know that you are not alone in this journey. To assist you in navigating this challenging phase, I have curated a selection of eight insightful books focused on uncovering your true purpose. These include works by a monk providing wisdom rooted in Buddhist principles, a guide to cultivating inner contentment, a narrative of overcoming adversity, a resource for managing adult anxiety, and a manual for navigating the later stages of life.While these books are not substitutes for professional intervention, they may serve as beacons of guidance in your quest for clarity and purpose. If you are facing significant challenges, it is advisable to seek support from trained professionals to ensure your well-being.
